So yesterday, the reason why I didn´t blog was because I was out on a day long excursion... and BELIEVE that I am sore. We visited a museo which was not that far from the main city. Maybe about 10-15 mins away. And this museo was awesome!! But of course most museos still have that side that´s like arghh.... boring... but some of the exhibits were amazingly interesting... Some things showed how life was before like industrailism... There were dress parts for different "ancient" times festivals and such... There were also rooms set up that showed how life was before.... I remember this block thing... and the tour guide, although at the time didn´t understand that she was asking if anybody knew what this "thing" is. But she explained it was just an old fashion iron... you put coals in hte bottom part and/or put it in the fire.
Anyway after that long but a little tour around the museo... we went on to a church... and our main tour guide of the whole excursion (Javier~ said with a little flem) said a little speech about the church (of course all in Spanish) so my attention span sort of lost what we was saying... but I did manage to remember that the archs inside were made to follow the shoes of horse... yes horseshoes... same difference...
Anyway there are pictures of the church there too... oh yeah I have to mention that when we left, outside was hot, and the sun was out for us... but inside that church was sooo cool! It was interesting to have felt that.
After our time at the museo and the church, our buses took us about an hour into the mountains where we came to a grassy area where lunch was served... Or well we have to eat whatever we brought. Hm sandwhich with tortilla in it... bomb dot com! (btw it wasn´t a tortilla- flat and floury but a tortilla is an omlette!!! yum!)
We went on a little trail with a climb of about vertical... crazy hurt on the legs! But I made it to this upper landing that gave a beautiful view of the montañas. They call it the picos de europa because it touches three regions of Spain but I don´t know why it is of Europa. once again, I need to buff my Spanish.
Getting back on the bus we went to a little pueblo where only the smaller bus can continue. So we took three trips, which took forever to wait for the rest of the groups to reach the inner part of the like-valley. But from there we didn´t realize that we were going to be facing a 4 km walk to the rio. BTW the rio was beautiful, which lead to a dam which had this extra part that zig zagged down. And that was about the end of our walk because we had to walk back and then take the three bus trips AND the trip back into town. You´d think that wasn´t long but we walked FOREVER! Anyway check out the photos...
