6. also drove by Cassa Baylor, designed by Gaudi and it looks dope. Stone house with curved shapes and dragon scaled roof
7. apperantly Saint George from back in the day killed a dragon that was going to eat the princess so he slayed it queen. And red roses come out of the dragon. The dragon was eating farmers animals and so they started feeding it virgins (Karl would have been the first to go) until the princess was up. They celebrate with red roses on some day of the year.
