Today is my dad's birthday! In celebration of that fact, we decided to just relax and take it easy so it would be a low stress, low navigation kind of day.
Just kidding. We went everywhere. First up was Spain's Arc de Triomf.

| Complete with unappreciative hipster man on the lower left corner. |
For my readers familiar with la culture française, you'd recognize the similarities between that arch and the one in Paris. And you're right. They are very similar.
That's honestly all the city guide said about the arch. I don't know if they're connected or if they'll eventually turn into stargates, I have no clue.

We also visited a MASSIVE Gothic Cathedral that they had here.
 |
| Damn, look at those fractals. |
Even from that wide shot, you can see the ridiculous intricacy of the architecture.
 |
| At this point, I think every blog post I have on Spain has contained the word "architecture" somewhere. |
It didn't really have a badass name like the Notre Dame or anything, it was only called the "Gothic Cathedral," even in the city signs. But it's still very fancy.
 |
| Incredibly, they had LCD screens at the time this was constructed. |
Later that night, we ate at a delicious Asian buffet called "Wok."
 |
| This restaurant was across from our hotel, so since we didn't have to go far, we just... wok'd. |
The buffet wasn't that great compared to buffets in California though. They had sushi, but they only allowed you to take FIFTEEN PIECES per eating session. Which kind of sucked. But we still left with full bellies, so it was still worth it.
Happy 50th birthday, dad! You're a ripe old age now, but it's been fun having you as my dad for the past 18 years. Here's to many, many more years!
RFotD: My dad says he is 50 years old every time I ask him, so I'm not sure if he really is 50 this time or if he's just lying to me again.
