Day 12 Supplemental from Ana Wojtysiak
Katya "slept in" until almost 11am today. It turned out she was pretending to sleep because she heard Mom say "sort laundry". When she woke up, she repeated our conversation word-for-word. The little stinker!
Sadly, it rained all day. But that didn't mean Mom let us stay inside. We were dragged into the rain to visit this Gaudi house in the city called Casa Batllo, (pronounced Bay-oh). I have to admit, it was pretty cool. The whole house was water themed with swirly ceilings and scaly walls. We took the virtual tour, so we had headphones and devices that showed us what the rooms would look like with furniture while we walked around in the house.
Then, we walked a few blocks (it was still raining) to a really good bakery where we met grandma and grandad. The hot chocolate we had there was like a chocolate mousse in a cup.
Then we had to say goodbye because they were staying an extra day in Barcelona and we were going to Rome the next morning.
Afterwards we trudged through the rain to a park also designed by Gaudi. Its called Parc Guell (pronounced Goo-ay).
And yes, it's outside in the rain. The only reason we did it was because it was our last day. It was cool, but disappointing because I thought the dragon wall would be bigger.
When we got home, we were soaked so we watched cartoons for a while. When we came downstairs, in the AirBnB, the owners daughter was there. Her name is Jauna and she's 9 years old.
She's really nice. She said she was from Bulgaria (I think she lives there with her Dad). We talked for a bit -- I'm learning Spanish and she's learning English.
Later that night, I took out my phone and took a picture of their dog. I wanted to draw a picture of it for Jauna before I left because she was really nice and about the only kid I've talked to so far besides Katya. I didn't know what else she liked, so I did a sketch in pen of her dog from a picture I took earlier.
I brought it downstairs and gave it to her. She loved it and showed her mother, the owner of the B&B. (We all shared living spaces in the house, we just had a separate room upstairs)
Jauna asked us if we wanted to watch cartoons with her, so we did.
