Barcelona, day 3 - Did you know Picasso died with both of his ears?

For our last day in Barcelona, we got up and headed to the Picasso museum, stopping for cafe con leche on the way.

We saw some great works, especially Picasso's early stuff from when he was only 14 or 15 (way better than Jen and Abbey's artistic talents).

We also saw works from the Blue and Pink Periods, Cubism, as well as all the Las Menitas series, which we both loved.

From there, we wandered around and stumbled upon a beautiful park - La Cascada fountain and a children's festival (they were singing "The Wiggles" in Spanish -- possibly the most annoying sound in the world).

We walked by the Parliment building, which was beautiful, and the zoo (which didn't smell so great).

We walked down towards the water and the Barceloneta district, which was very pretty and breezy by the water.

We took a taxi back towards our street, Via Laientana, and had lunch at a darling cafe across from our hotel - Tapas, our favorite!

We tried cuttlefish -- not so sure about the texture, but at least we're adventurous!

We then headed to the airport... and to Venice!
