Geoff,

The wait on Friday was only about 45 minutes.  I will be posting some photos 
soon and will include some of Sagrada Familia also.  The inside is really 
remarkable.

Cheers,
Gene

I have been visiting the city since 2006 and I think each time a later
completion date is mentioned. I still have never got inside and the lines
were magnified this time due to the Festival. Still I always try to shoot
some of the people outside. That set yet to come.



Cheers
Geoff
