Fotos para 7-17-08

This is from an expedition that I don´t think I wrote about on the blog... it´s La Iglesia (church) de Santa Maria (I´m fairly sure), it´s from the... 9th... century? and it´s on the same mountain as the gigantic statue of Jesus.
This is also old, and it´s from the expedition to Gijon. The structure is the "Elogio de Horizonte", AKA King Kong´s Toilet, and the whole group of students is there if you´re interested.

A random town that we passed on the way to Santiago last week... just an example of the beauty of Spain. (Also, picture taken from a moving bus.)

Gaita! (Bagpipes!) This was in the medieval market in Santiago.
Fourth of July festivities, complete with flags in the pizza. :)
This is the cat of the couple that hosted the picnic. I´m posting the picture to demonstrate that cats will be cats-- whatever nationality.

We went to a giant mall, and this is the lovely bookstore there. I enjoyed the fact that "Música Internacional" meant "Música de los Estados Unidos". There´s a CD of The Fray (How to Save a Life), as well as Jonas Brothers there, as well as some other things that I don´t remember. You can probably read the titles if you click on the picture.

This statue is one of the reasons I love Oviedo. Mamá refers to it as "el piernas y culo", which means "butt and legs." It´s the same on both sides. It stands very near La Gorda, and it´s so random it makes me laugh.
Mmmmmmm... this is what we had for dinner last night: lasaña, patatas fritas, pan, y agua fría. Nothing like it.

Katherine!!
I am so excited that you had such a wonderful experience. It makes me smile reading your posts. I can't wait to hear all about it in person. I am writing from Geneva so I have to say your posts made me homesick, oddly. It's so funny to be on the same different continent if you know what I mean-- a flash of familiarity.
Bon voyage!
Gros bises,
Mailyn
P.S. It's Nadal:)

Great pictures!

I thought "mooning" wasn't allowed in public. Oh, that's right--you're in Europe! ;)

Wow, you must be so absolutely crazy right now, excited about coming home, sad about leaving. You've let us all in on your great adventure and it's definitely sounded absolutely amazing. Thank you!

Sorry I missed you earlier on chat . . . me and my ridiculous forgetting to sign out . . . I can't wait to see you again!
