Lucky Turtle!

Still no luggage this morning, so no practice. Instead we decided to go see the Park Guell, which is a unfinished work of the famous architect Gaudi. The girls enjoyed some beautiful views and trinket shopping as well as some interesting architecture (check back for pictures and video blog).

After some rest and food, we embarked on a guided bus tour of Barcelona. The group learned all about the cities history in architecture, government, and athletics touring places like Sagrada Familia, Olympic Stadium, and Cathedral. While walking by Casa de Lardiacas formerly a judicial building in the gothic quarter,  we noticed a very unique mailbox. An architect was commissioned to design something that would represent the judicial system, the symbol ended up being a turtle (slow). After the history lesson, the girls were all instructed to pet the turtle for good luck. Apparently it worked because everyone (minus Coach Flint and Coach Maciel) received their luggage later in the evening.

We are now headed off to sleep to rest up for another jam packed day of sightseeing and our first match! 

Buenas Noches!
