ThE FiFTh DaY (SaLaManCa Tour)

Salamanca, Salamanca, Salamanca...what a beautiful city. We headed on out of caminomorisco around 10:30...ready for our adventure in an unknown city. All we had was a map, a compass, and javier´s great sense of direction. Throughout the bus ride, we entertained ourselves with Mission Impossible (the movie). Unfortunately, the movie was interrupted by the vomit of several of the kids in the bus. Apart from that, it was a very fun bus ride where we sang songs (some in spanish, others in english), laughed, and some of us slept to catch up on some sleep.

Once we arrived in Salamanca we headed to the Plaza Mayor. And if I may say so myself, it´s much prettier than the one in madrid. The kids there got the chance to see one of Spain´s historic plazas and got the chance to purchase some lemonade. Then we went for a stroll to the old historic cathedral. The great thing about it was that we could enter for free (por lo cara-->javi y nico). By that time it was time for lunch in one of salamanca´s beautiful plazas in front of St Steven´s church. Then we allowed the kids to walk around salamanca by themselves, as long as they stayed within their respective families. During this time, the could purchase souvenirs for themselves, their toffee twin, their parents, or Nella (since it was her birthday). Shortly after, we went to the shell house (casa de las conchas) and then the kids played a Gymkana where the had the opportunity to learn about Salamanca´s historic significance. All in all, it was an amazing and unforgettable experience.

Much love,

Javi
