Barcelona

I did rotate these before i blogged them but it didn't take so you'll have to turn sideways. I (Jeana) am in Barcelona for a business trip for a week and these are some of the sights we saw on Sunday. It's a beautiful city with lots to see, good food and is easy to get around.
This is Casa Batllo which is a house designed by Gaudi. There is not a straight line in the whole house. Absolutely amazing. So much going on but it all works.
The below picture is of the door to the elevator shaft.

This is the outside courtyard behind the house.
This entire wall is on a system of weights and pulleys and opens upward.
This is the same wall from the outside.

Room in the loft floor of the house.

Pete, this is probably my best picture:)
the roof of the Casa Batllo. those are chimneys.
