tibidabo architecture

i'm currently teaching a college student who's studying at a private university in the mountains of barcelona. three days a week i make my trek up to tibidabo [near the mountain-top] to teach him. my calves and lungs are getting a great work out...and so is my ipod [i think the little bugger is on his last leg, actually.]

if there's one thing i could forever rave about [and forever appreciate] in barcelona, it's the architecture. and these avant-gard houses in tibadabo [almost hidden away, and on a slight slant] are unreal. here's a sample...




grand terraces seem to come standard on almost every home. i wish i could sneak onto [break into?] one and pop a bottle of wine and count the stars, or look at the constellations or something else that i've never in my life taken the time to do.

these terraces would be just perfect...
