College Nostalgia

---

Melissa and I are in Salamanca, a great college town where Spain´s oldest University is and it is making me want to be in College again. The city is so alive with culture and young, idealistic college kids, its great. We got in yesterday from Oveido and had to search pretty hard for a hostel...everything was booked for the weekend...this place is bustling with students and visitors and its easy to see why...ITS BEAUTIFUL...the University buildings and Cathedrals are all made of sandstone (knowledge thanks to my geologist companion 😊) and at night they are all lit up and it looks amazing. Plaza Mayor is the center of the city and it seems to always be FULL of people. Mel and I just finished having drinks on the Plaza, just sitting and soaking up the sun and doing one of my favorite things--people watching--for an hour or so. Last night we found a great bar in the center of town called Erasmus and watched the big Real Madrid v. Barcelona futbol game...it was great...these people love their soccer. We are on to Toledo tomorrow.

My old chorus director is living in Salamanca this year and started a children's choir there, to help make Salamanca the cultural capital like it used to be a long time ago. I'm so happy for her. venga, hata luego
