so since i'm not feeling good, damn flu, i've been putzing around the house in my pajamas all night. i decided to start doing a visual inventory of the places i want to see on my trip to europe. so many of the itineraries online have "go here, do this," but without pictures. i am a visual person, people! i need pictures.
so i thought i'd start putting my own together. this inventory will undoubtedly grow substantially over the next few months.

la sagrada familia.
catedral de barcelona.
la barceloneta beach.
