Espana, last day

On our last day in Spain, we woke up, had breakfast, packed up, and began a slow drive back to the airport.  We decided to stop to see the Sagrada Familia, the Gaudi designed Catholic church that is STILL under construction.  Construction began in 1882, Gaudi took over the next year, he died with it VERY MUCH UNFINISHED in 1926, and construction continues today.  And it's all based on donations and ticket sales!

It's ugly. There, I said it.  Maybe it's my dislike of modern art/art nouveau things, but I find it hideous.    I know there are those that revere this crazy, ongoing project.  And Kudos to them, but I am not a fan.  Oh well, at least I can say that I have seen it, right?

 You can see the cranes working on the spires.

 The newer parts are obvious--the white/not-faded parts are new.

 Like my new hat?  Me too!

Nope.  Still don't like the church.

And look what else we found on our way back to the car?

The Palestinian flag!
