weekend recap

saturday we slept in a little. we headed into the city to do some shopping and hang out on the beach. we walked around and the city had a lot going on for their festival. we found a foosball tournament. equipped with trophies for the winners and everything. we walked most of the city. we stopped for lunch at a place that had 'kebab asia'. i wasn't sure what to expect but they gave us a HUGE sandwich which was absolutely delicious. you could get chicken or beef and it had lettuce, a house sauce, and was in a pita bread. it was so good and very filling!

my kebab! delicious!

 

 

after we had lunch we walked around for a little while longer and then headed to the beach. the beaches in santandar run along a peninsula that has a large palace. the beach was absolutely beautiful. the weather was a bit cooler, but with the sun it was absolutely perfect. the water was cold, but not as cold as portugal.

 

the beautiful beach!

the water was absolutely gorgeous!

 

once we left the beach we took a boat tour around santander. it took us by all the important places to see. it was really nice, but was very chilly on the ocean. it lasted about an hour and i got some great pictures.

Faro de Cabo Mayor. the oldest lighthouse in Cantabria (area around santander). it was built in 1830.

 

after the boat tour we headed back to our hostel. we grabbed dinner close to the hostel and called it a night. we didn't finish with dinner until around 11:45.

 

today we got up and went into santander for the morning. almost all the shops were closed, but we did find a small store that was open and walked through the santander flea market. the flea market was packed.. and i'm sure you could have found some good stuff if you had the time to dig around.. which we did not. we had to head back to get our suitcases and take the train back to santander. we left santander at 2. we got back to salamanca around 8:30. i got everything unpacked and reorganized my closet. there is a concert in the park near my house that i can hear. the music is very pretty. we just had dinner. i had pasta, potato salad, meat, and yogurt for dessert. i need to work on homework for awhile, and then i think i'm going to shower and head to bead. it was a very long day today.
