We had a quick bite (coffee and croissants) and then met at the bikes for a quick route rap.  Two of the families left early this morning for other trips, so it was just ourselves, one other family and Diane & Jim. 

We did a 25km easy loop, with me hanging with Jessie.  It was a pleasant and easy end to a great biking trip.

I think I managed to ride all the optional km available (which isn’t what I had particulary set out to do).  The days, in order, in miles were 17, 40, 43, 45, 47 and 16.

After our return we gathered our stuff like our pedals and returned things like our helmets and showered and packed.  We then had the great buffet breakfast at the hotel (but it was more like a brunch this time) before getting on the bus and heading back to Barcelona. 

When we got to Barcelona, we had to take two taxis from the drop-off location to our hotel.  We had a quick lunch and then went back out to visit La Sagrada Familia which is a huge church designed by Antoni Gaudi.  It’s unlike any large church we’ve been in before.  It’s very open and modern looking and the light inside is beautiful.   It’s still under construction (construction was started in the late 1800’s). 

We then went to a local restaurant and had our last Spanish dinner.  I had paella.  J

We’re about to go to sleep.  Tomorrow we get up at 4:00 and head to the airport for a long day of travel.  We’re all excited to get home and at dinner everyone was talking about how much they’ve missed Teddy.  J
