I am sorry to hear you are unable to travel, but hope I was able to "transport you" to some of the sights of Barcelona - the Gaudi stuff is as wonderful as it's cracked up to be, if a little pricy to visit inside.<br /><br />I am happy that you have a favourite scent from that city, D600. Isn't it great?

Love all things Gaudi and can't imagine being in Park Guel. AND, my number one fragrance is D600! <br /><br />I hope you enjoyed it for both of us!Kathy Bungardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04436749525712620426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-10799746648273574492013-01-08T22:47:02.948+00:002013-01-08T22:47:02.948+00:00Hi Tara,

The Gaudi houses and church were something like 16 euros each which just seemed a lot to me, much as I would have liked to see inside. I guess I like to see how far I can get enjoying a city for free, and when I have run out of free sights, then I'll consider forking out for the museums!

And of course we weren't even meant to be there, but in a little noodle bar Katie likes that was somewhere in the general vicinity!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-86454491806530330342013-01-07T14:21:24.660+00:002013-01-07T14:21:24.660+00:00How nice to have a perfume museum all to yourself!...How nice to have a perfume museum all to yourself!
