On the recommendation of my co-worker Larry, we booked a private tour through Runner Bean Tours.  We ended up with the same tour guide he and his family had, Jessi, an ex-pat from Australia.  She was fantastic and gave us a tremendous amount of history as we toured the old city concentrating on the Gothic the 1st half, and Gaudi the 2nd.  Later in the day we were also able to meet our niece Jessi to hangout for a bit as well as have dinner.  She’s in Bracelona this summer on a study-abroad opportunity.
