Festa Major de Gracia

We are not German!  It means siblings in Catalan!!!


Everybody's freaking out! 
The street by our flat

Decorating the street
Today was a quieter day.  We explored more of our neighborhood and watched all the locals prepare for the Gracia Festival that starts soon. A bunch of the streets compete against each other to see which street is decorated the best. Each street has a different theme. One of my favorites is the Star Wars street with all the characters and ships. The Chewbacca sculpture looked real even though he had those things that mops are made of for his fur. I also like the street with the big fort that is supposed to be the Wild Wild West. Another one of my favorites is a street with tons of colored things hanging from the sky. I guess I have a lot of favorites! Later we finished the first part of Lord of the Rings (I loved it) and got to bed a bit earlier than usual (10:45 pm) because we start an activity camp tomorrow early in the morning.
