A trip I need to make in 13 years
Long-time readers may recall that I am a huge fan of the work of Spanish architect and genius Antoni Gaudi. I particularly love his La Sagrada Familia cathedral, which I saw first with Scott on our trip to Barcelona when he was 16. The building has been under construction for a very long time, but now the builders are claiming they will finish it--meaning, finish all that Gaudi meant it to be--by 2026. Though I don't honestly believe they will complete the construction by then, I hope they do, because I very much want to see the final structure.
Check out this video to see a rendering of Gaudi's vision. Amazing, breathtaking, inspiring, weird, organic, math-based genius.
I know I'll be 71 in 2026, but I still want to make that trip.

You make it sound like 71 is OLD!

Fair point. I definitely need to make that trip.
shades of Cappidocia and minarets absolutely beautiful
I'm going to look for pictures of more work by this architect
Gaudi's works are things of strange beauty.
I know you will enjoy seeing the completed cathedral. I did not get a chance to send a final thanks for your kind words on another post, so I am sending my thanks now. I look forward to reading every new book you write as soon as they are available.
Thanks for the support. I truly appreciate it.
