PICTURES FROM MY TRIP AROUND THE WORLD: #49

Location: Barcelona, Spain - Sagrada Familia

This is a Catholic church that has been under construction since 1882 and won’t be completed till at least 2026. It’s considered one of Gaudi’s masterpieces and is hands down the most awe-inspiring church I have ever seen. It’s just so different from other cathedrals.

It’s strange how much I enjoyed walking around the Sagrada Familia, considering I rarely go to church anymore. I still bless myself though whenever I pass a cemetery or hear a siren. It’s just part of my Catholic upbringing. I grew up next to a firehouse, so the whole family was always flailing their arms about like rubber bands. In college, I turned into a cafeteria Catholic. I picked and choose what to belive in and over time, I’ve become a really picky eater. I guess you could say I’m all full from the last supper.

Zinger!
