catalan.

As I sat overlooking Barcelona today from my perch atop Park Güell - a Gaudi-designed park covered in a thick helping of mosaics and stone and modernism - I couldnt help feeling like I was back in the Bay Area on top of Coit Tower. To my right spanned a set of hills: South City. Below me rested a blanket of quiet urban landscape, sprinkled with high rises and windows and white-washed walls: the city itself, laid out in neat squares. Beyond that, the ocean hugged the shoreline: the San Francisco Bay. Five thousand miles away and still so close to home.
