this place is amazing, a huge city set into the hills, so you´re never too far from nature, you just have to look up. thank god. the food here is much better. ok i know that i haven´t updated ina bit, we´ve been so busy traveling haven´t had a chance to. anyway, we´re in spain, and the weather here is 85 today. gorgeous day! i went shopping earlier, and went into the guggenheim here, which was amazing. i got to walk inside some of richard serras monumental sculptures, something i´ve wanted to do as long as i can remember. they were amazing. the biggest one is made of 7 steel plates and weighs 120 tons. and the most amzing part, nothing is held together, no pins into the flor, no sodering, just gravity. to stand inside one of those you really get a sense of how small and fragile you are. i stood inside one of the work and was in awe at the fact that this thing was made so that the sculpture itself supported it. very eeirie in a way. i couldn´t take pictures, but if you ever get a chance you should totally look him up.
ok, we´re staying at a little place along the river and the view is actually really nice...we have a tiny little balcony that i step
guggenheim
this is such an amazing building. when frank ghery first built it 20 years ago, everyone said it wouldn´t last. out on every chance i get and realize how nice it is to have that at home.
this morning we went to the market to get some food to eat at the park, it was just like the marcado i remember in san miguel. there were all sorts of interesting meats as well such as cow tounges, sheep brains, skinned rabbits, cow noses, and horse testicles. mmmm.....needless to say we have fruit for lunch.
so the weather here is beautiful, and tommorow we´re off to leon. i´m dying to buy some leather sandals cause leather is really cheap in spain. as of yet i haven´t really bought anything for myself, but i´m keeping an eye out for interesting things for you christopher.
ohh....and one more thing...more pictures!!!! enjoy....
thanks for the comments you guys, i really appreciate knowing you´re thinking of me.
