There are literally hundreds of Saint's Days here in Catalunya and in all of Spain. Today is special because, not only is it Boxing Day, an English holiday, it's Steve's Saint's Day(Esteban). It seems there are around 2500 Saints with John Paul II having beatified over half of them. I wouldn't mind seeing my hero Antoni Gaudi receive that honor. Lots of people have been lobbying for his sainthood for years. His designs and architecture are one of the reasons we were drawn here in the first place. The Sagrada Familia in Barcelona is the most nature-focused, innovative and breathtaking cathedral in the world. We have an homage to Gaudi''s Park Guell as the focal point of the terrace/entry way to our house (photo). We worked on this trencadis (broken tile) or mosaic project for three months - my design and Steve's engineering and more patient tile placement.
That bench is fabulous! Can't wait to see it in person. Happy almost NewYear!!!
