We also discovered we had no wifi [problem with the router]With no wifi and only Spanish tv, poor Matthew had no excuses not to do his schoolwork. We've loaded textbooks on a USB drive and are getting him to do a chapter at a time. Amazing how many chapters you can get done when there's nothing else to do.
Monday, after a lazy start we headed off to see La Sagrada Familia [we had pre-booked tickets to avoid the queue and had to pick them up from a machine near the church]. After a minor heart attack, [the machine wasn't working, and we had to find another. Luckily, I'd made a mistake reading my watch and we still had an hour to find the machine and pick up the tickets], we bypassed the 3 hr queue and headed into the church.
WOW!!! Antonio Gaudi had designed the church and started work before his death in 1926. The work was continued by others [following his ideas] and is expected to be finished in approx. 18 years [about 2030]. When it is completed, it will have the tallest church spire in the world [500 ft]. Utterly amazing.
The outside was just as amazing.
We left the church and wandered back home, stopping to buy more food [hamburgers with bacon and egg for dinner].
