wayyyy hot a day, so i planned on spending time hanging with some a.c.
figuring i might as well absorb a little culture by osmosis, i headed over to puig i cadafalch´s caixaforum factory, now reformed into a gallery. there was an exhibit on display focusing on the medici´s artistic and cultural reign in tuscany from the 14th to 17th centuries. really fascinating.
on my way home, detoured to hit gaudi´s casa vicens. while originally built by ceramics magnate manuel vicens in 1888, gaudi was commissioned to transform it, a mission he evidently took to heart. while the interior maintained many of the original ceramic mosaics, the typical gaudi touches prevail both inside and out. if i didn´t know any better, i would´ve thought i was peering at a gingerbread house!
