Hola from Salamanca, Spain !

Hola everyone! Our plane arrived in Madrid, Spain yesterday around 9 oh clock... but to us it felt like 3 oh clock :/ lol ... after getting our baggage we found our rental car and we were off ! On the way to Salamanca we stopped at the World's Most intact Medieval walled city, Avila, it was beautiful! I have never seen anything like it! I took lots of pictures so no worries i will share :)

After leaving Avila our next stop was Salamanca... I slept most of the way because I was exhausted! Jill and Uncle Jeff were trying to focus on the road! We finally arrived and the TomTom was taking us around in circles... I think it was a bit confused. Finally we just "Attempted" to park the car ... and asked somebody where the hotel was. Actually it's funny... because where we parked was like a block from the hotel front door! We finally settled in ... when we got to our room we slept for a little over 2 hours then we went out to explore.

We went to a few Cathedral's they were absolutely AMAZING! I've never seen such beauty! After site seeing a while we just walked around to little stores. We tried to eat in a little "Tapa Restaurante" but the man was very ignorent, so we left ! We ended up coming back to the hotel and resting and then eating down stairs at the hotel. ( Spanish people don't usually eat dinner until about 10 at night ! ) so we were pretty hungry. We started out with some pon blanco (white bread) and the best jamon & queso (ham & cheese - this ham was so amazing) ... and jill and i orded Roll of pig & apricots! it was very good... Uncle Jeff however didn't really like his dinner which was squid cooked in it's own ink :/ i could imagine why ... lol ! After eating we went to sleep for the night !

Today we woke up around 4 this morning and realized we needed more sleep lol jill couldn't sleep for about 2 hours, but i was able to fall back to sleep til about 11 ! We got up and got ready for the day ! We went walking and got lunch at this neighborhood restaurante and we had what my mom suggested " Paella" it was very very good!!! ( thanks mom ) ... After eating we went walking again trying to find the supermercado... which is not open on sunday's. Now we are just sitting in the hotel taking a break. We are about to go explore some more and take pictures ! I will post more later tonight !! :)) Amor - Krista !
