Pictures from my walk

Today I walked and walked and walked. It was actually nice out for most of the walk, turning cloudy and cold towards the end. I think I actually got a few new freckles on my face. I wanted to post a few pictures that I thought were fun. I'm going to post these and more to Snapfish, so if you want to see them I'll send you the link!

This first picture is of a statue/fountain near the beach. You can see the soccer stadium in the distance between the two surfers. It's probably one of my favorites - I might put it as my computer wallpaper. I like how the water is actually splashing up from under the surfboards. Dad, I sent this to you in an email but I don't know if it went through. If it didn't, I think you can click on the picture to enlarge it and save it to your computer. I thought this was one you might like.

The La Coruña aquarium has this funny 'flying fish' outside. I didn't actually go into the aquarium today, but I'm going to soon. It is supposed to be amazing.

Right down the coast from the aquarium is the Torre de Hercules. I've posted a picture of it before, but it was one that I got off of the internet. Below is one that I took today. There were dozens of buses full of school kids and tourists going up to the tower. I think I might go back one evening when it isn't quite as busy.

I also found another cool little pool. This one has a little beach right next to it. The pool was closed - it was probably too early in the year and might not be heated... I'll check it out again soon. It looks less expensive than the other pool and is about the same distance from my apartment. The picture looks a little funny because I had to lean over the railing on the side of the boardwalk to take the picture - sorry.

(For some reason the picture won't load - I will try again later on!)

One quick side note. My normal background tv channel, CNN (in English), is not working right now. My backup is "Channel 8" which shows US tv shows dubbed in Spanish. I just think its so funny the selection of shows/movies that they pick! Right now there is some ex-Lifetime movie from about 1995 where Patty Duke is about 55 and having a baby... of all American shows they could choose from, they choose Lifetime movies. :) I can't really complain too much because I have probably actually seen this movie before in the US. hehe
