Sagrada Familia
On our third day in Barcelona, we visited the famous Sagrada Familia by Antonio Gaudi. At the time of our visit, it was still under construction. It is estimated to complete in 2026 - 2028. Perhaps I shall visit it again when it's finally complete. There are insufficient words to describe how amazed and awed I was when I saw THE Sagrada Familia in person.
But before that... we went to a cafe nearby our hotel for breakfast. I love small cafes. The atmosphere and food are usually a gem.
My breakfast. Cafe latte and ham and cheese with ficelle bread

Details of the roof in nave. The columns mirrored the trees and branches, designed by Gaudi in his eyes of God's creation
We were done minutes earlier than Yit Ling and were sitting down waiting for her
After that, we took a cab and went for lunch around Passeig de Gracia. We went to Tapa Tapa, a tapas bar (stating the obvious, as one would have guessed it's a tapas bar by the name itself) for lunch. The food was good!

Happy New Year!
Here's to wishing everyone a blessed new year! May 2012 be an even better year!
It's time reflect on the past year's resolutions and drawing up a new, long laundry list of resolutions.
Here's some photos from our pre-Christmas dinner. On the 23rd of December, I decided to cook a nice dinner to share. Huan, Han and Fang Lin brought some food and drinks to share as well :)
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Yummy!
:)
Have a blessed year ahead!
