Square in Zaragoza

Not even an hour away from Madrid we are already the countryside. The drive has been a refreshing change from the the city and its endless stream of cars and grafitti. Olive trees, windmills, sunflowers and sheep dot the hilly sountryside. Our guide Maria Teresa, or Marte, has been awesome. I mistaked her laugh as "splenda", but now her infectious laugh kills me everytime.

On the way to Barcelona we stopped at the city of Zaragoza. Next to a river we explored another cathedral, the Basilica Nuestra Senora del Pilar. The cathedral was definitely the standout feature so I was glad we didn't waste too much time hanging out here. Nice nice...let's bounce.
