I took 2 siestas in the name of cultural understanding!

We are in Salamanca Spain-- which is BEAUTIFUL. Mandy studied abroad here so we had to make a pilgrimage.

It is nicknamed the "Golden City" because all of the crazy gorgeous buildings are made with the same golden colored sandstone. The New Cathedral and the University are probably the most dominant buildings in Salamanca (and they are beautiful) but there are a bunch of monasteries that are spread out throughout the city as well. Plus-- Salamanca probably only has the cathedral in the world with an astronaut worked into the facade.

Pictures to follow!

Spain also has AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAmazing food.

This was my BREAKFAST


Churros with chocolate. So delicious... but now I know why the Spanish have siestas...
