"Are you sure we're going the right way?" Luke asks me for the hundredth time since we've gotten on the subway.

"Yes" I respond for hundredth time.

"Because it says we are going to this station" Luke says pointing to the main station after the Parque Guell stop on the small map.

"Yes that's where we want to go! See look Parque Guell" I say back pointing to that stop.

"But we got on here" he says pointing to a stop in between the Parque Guell stop and the main station which we are heading to now.

"Shit" I mumble realizing he's right. 

"What's that?" Luke asks cupping his hand to his ear smiling.

"You're right! We need to get off as soon as possible and get on a different train" I groan. The next stop we get off and cross the platform to get on a train heading back towards the Parque Guell. 

"Are you sure we're going the right way?" Luke asks laughing like a madman. 

"Oh shut up!"

"Sorry just making sure since last time you were leading us-"

"I was not!"

"Whatever babe" he says wrapping his arm around my shoulder. I can't even stay mad at him for more than a few seconds.

"I bet it's beautiful" I whisper thinking about what it might look like.

"Eh I don't know it doesn't sound too great" Luke shrugs. I've only seen one picture from it and it was just of a the view from the top looking out over Barcelona. That alone was gorgeous so I can't even begin to imagine what the actual park must look like.

Finally, we make it to the correct stop and we slide off the train among a large group of other tourists. I notice a bunch of signs hanging around telling you where to go so I drag Luke along with me. We climb up the stairs and find ourselves surrounded by colorful tiles.

"This time I was right" I say nodding my head as I look around at the magnificent tiles.

"It's actually not that bad" Luke says slightly nodding his head as well. We spend most of the time pushing past people and running back and forth showing each other the cool things we find. "I'm getting really hungry do you want to get something to eat?"

"I hadn't even realized the time! It's already one in the afternoon! Let's get some lunch" I say feeling my stomach growl.

We look around and find a cute little restaurant that looks like it serves lunch. We walk in and we are hit with a wall of amazing smells. There are sandwiches everywhere and they are each perfectly executed.

Me and Luke both order a sandwich with some water. We take our order over to a small table outside with a great view and sit down.

"Oh my god" I say with my mouth full of food. "This is amazing!"

"It is" Luke says allowing for a small piece of lettuce to fall out of his mouth. He looks down and then back up me. We both burst into laughter and I spit some of my sandwich out as well. "maybe smaller bites would be better" he says once we have our food under control.

"Good idea" I laugh. We finish our sandwiches with small talk and then begin walking around some more.

"Let me take a picture of you here" Luke says pulling my phone out of my jean pocket. I throw my arms out in the air and smile.

"Do you want me to take a picture of you both?" A girl around the same age as me asks with a heavy native accent.

"That would be great actually" Luke says handing her the phone. He runs over and wraps his arms around me. Then, he lifts me up bridal style and spins around. The girl laughs while she continues to take pictures of us.
