Barcelona
Gaudí everywhere. The light is impossible to capture. Found a tiny bar with a blind cat.

Lessons & Observations
“Write everything down. Memory is a terrible photographer.”
☑ The best meals happen when you can’t read the menu
☑ Three weeks is never enough
☑ Wander without direction first
☐ Learn at least 5 words in the local language
☑ The photos you regret not taking outnumber the ones you took
☐ Coffee always tastes better when you sit for it
