Ávila: Day 3

We also went to Ávila. Not too many pictures of this, but it was pretty as well. Pretty much every city in Spain is pretty. So far.

There is a wall there. It was instrumental in historical things, like conquests.










Spain looks like driving through Eastern Washington. So weird.


Then we got home and slept.

Or got started on the massive amounts of homework our teachers decided to assign. WTF?

Salamanca: Day 2

On day 2, we started the day with tours of the old & new cathedrals, and the Universidad de Salamanca which is the oldest university in Spain, and the fourth oldest in the Western World (University of Bologna, Italy; University of Oxford, UK; University of Montpelier, France), and it was founded in 1218. HOLINESS!!!

The Cathedrals:

















The university!


The library:


When you get your doctorate, you get your name on the wall:



This is a classroom:





We went on a walking tour of the city after lunch/siesta to see some of the main parts besides the churches and university:












After the tour, we went shopping for a bit...Sarah, Katelyn, and I found the most random awesome shop. With awesome glasses.


Then Katelyn and I went to a 70's/80's/90's diner for dinner to meet her friend from her home university.


We watched fútbol!


This is what the Spanish do for pasta carbanara. YUM:


Katelyn's sandwich was HUGE:


12 shots for 5 Euros...Katelyn, Emily, and I split this:


And that was Day 2. It was a LOT of fun, got home at 12:30ish, and took a bath in the jacuzzi tub in our hotel. Fantastic. I miss baths, even though I do not take them in Moscow. Lol.
