documentation of the adventures

enjoy these pictures!


the catedral in leon...

the doors to the entrance of the catedral in leon.



an example of the windows in the cathedral. imagine these covering the whole building. awesome.
the museo de arte contemporaneo in leon... soo cool!



mr. mark rowan, everybody... he likes to make fun of my non-functional buttons on my shirt. very nice of him.



random statue.



a pilgrim walking along the pilgrimage route! captured from a moving bus!



the one time it actually rained while we were in burgos.




the view from the castillo of the city of burgos.




just this nice walkway right next to our hotel..



k so my one of my favorite things about spain: the random statues that they have in random places without any explanation or plaque or anything... like that girl with the umbrella and this random merman (he's covered in barnacles if you can't tell). i am a big fan of these. i'm taking pictures with as many of them as i can.



this is what the burgos cathedral looks like at 6:45 am when the sun is rising, but you can't tell because there are too many clouds to see the sunrise.






okay, does this look familiar to anyone? anyone? salt lake city, maybe? i'm surprised how much the SLC temple looks like some of the cathedrals here. but i've heard about how the architect for the SLC temple was sent to Europe to look at the cathedrals as a model for how it should look.. which would make sense.



just some doors in the cathedral...





within the catedral de burgos... one of the many, many, many hallways.




these shells are placed all along the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela. we were literally walking along one of the most famous and ancient pilgrimage routes in the entire world. it was kind of neat.





just a dog... wearing pants... in covarrubias. sorry, this is random. but how ridiculous is that?!



a SECRET PASSAGEWAY we discovered in covarrubias!




it may not have rained on us that much, but you can see by how fabulously green it is there how much it must rain. this is what our bus ride consisted of... hours and hours of looking at absolutely stunning scenery looking like this. i think i was destined to live in the country.. i just love looking at fields like this.
