Sagrada Familia
We visited the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona again in 2025, the year they projected to have the cathedral completed.

Over the years of visiting the city, we have watched this magnificent cathedral grow from the vision of Antoni Gaudi.
What makes this experience unique is that it is not a finished monument, but a living one. Each visit reveals something new: another tower, section completed and another piece of the vision coming into form. It is rare to witness a structure of this scale still in the process of becoming.
Gaudi’s design is unlike any other cathedral. The exterior feels almost organic, as it has grown rather than being built and the interior is transformed from light into color, filling the space with a sense of movement and life. Columns rise like trees, and the stained-glass shifts throughout the day, changing the feeling of the space with the sun.
Construction began in 1882, and more than a century later, it continues, carried forward by generations who have taken on the responsibility of completing a vision they did not begin.
To return here over the years is to see that passage of time made visible.
The Sagrada Familia is a commitment, a reflection of how something extraordinary can take shape slowly, with each generation adding to what will one day stand complete.

The streets of Ponta Delgada were closed to traffic, storefronts shuttered, and the city was blanketed in flowers. What we thought was an ordinary weekend turned out to be […]
Gauguin moment on Taboga Island
While in Panama, we took a ferry across the Gulf to Taboga Island to spend the day on the beach and enjoy some local food. The ride itself was pleasant as the busy skyline of Panama City faded and we approached this small island known for its bright buildings. The beach itself was disappointing, but […]
Notre Dame Cathedral
As I have traveled the world, I try to take the time to visit cathedrals, local churches and other places where people worship. All of them are special, but the Notre-Dame Basilica in Montreal is one of the most extraordinary churches I have visited. Built between 1824 and 1829, the basilica is a masterpiece of Gothic […]
