Pictures

I was having a lot of trouble putting pictures on my blog this morning. I was finally able to load some this afternoon though. So, read the blog about Lugo, etc... below and then come back and look at the pictures :) There are descriptions below each of these pictures, so you should be able to figure out what they are.


This picture is from the outside of the cathedral. It is stained glass - there is a picture of what it looks from the inside below.

This is Juan in front of the cathedral and Gaudi palace in Astorga. The cathedral is the darker color brown to the left and the palace is white on the right. It was neat having two totally different styles of building side-by-side!

This is the Gaudi palace entrance with the palace behind (obviously). Look how blue the sky was! We totally lucked out with the weather this weekend.

Yet another picture of Juan in front of the Gaudi palace. I think that I am going to have to give Juan the camera during our next trip so there will actually be some pictures of me :)

This is Juan sitting on the wall that goes around the town/city of Lugo. There are all of these little semi-circle outcrops on the wall where the soldiers once stood. You can see the wall stretching into the distance behind Juan.

5 points to whatever reader can identify this crop. Is it potato? There are just little brown stumps about 6-12" high with a few small branches. They are all over the hillsides on the road between La Coruña and Lugo!

My guess is grapes (vineyard). Love the blog--it's the highlight of my mornings at work.
Love,

Grapes and grelos... I'll have to take a better look when I drive by next time and actually figure out what they are. I'll let you know.

I don't think that there is any exorcism with the sardine festival. If you're feeling possessed, we could probably make arrangements for you to attend the octopus festival instead ;)
