Spain pics (big giant pictographs with many words!)

[Allanon]

As many of you may or may not know I was living in Spain between June 12th-and July 6th (3 and half weeks). Anyways, I just got my first roll of film developed and I decided to upload them and post them here.

 

(Many pictures, not for the anti-picture people)

 

 

Here's the cathedral of St. Teresa in Avila. When we came by chance there was a wedding there, which is why everyone is dressed up.

 

 

 

Here's looking out at the Spanish countryside. Behind us are the walls of Avila, that's our spanish tourguide on the left from the school and some guy from Virginia named Russel.

 

 

 

Here's a recent statue of St. Teresa.

 

 

 

Here's a picture of the Plaza Mayor (Main Plaza) in Avila

 

 

 

Another picture of the Plaza Mayor with some random Spanish people in front of me.

 

 

 

Here's a picture of the cathedral built in Avila during the 12th century. It was really huge, and had only one window. Unfortunately with my tiny disposable camera I could only get the side while tilting the camera so turn your head and your should get some view of it.

 

 

 

Here's a view of the city Avila and the walls ahead

 

 

 

Here's the old university in Salamanca (a part of it) which was converted into a public library during the 1950's I think.

 

 

 

Here's the front of that building (it's on the left) and a typical street in Salamanca.

 

 

 

Here is the public unversity which students still study in.

 

 

 

Here it is again

 

 

 

Here's part of that building inside

 

 

 

Here's my roomate, a bit stuneed I think.

 

 

 

The door to that open courtyard-like part of the public unversity

 

 

 

Another room

 

 

 

A closeup of the door on the private unversity, the one which was built in 1200s and opened in 1218.

 

 

 

The wall of the entrance to the Unversidad de Salamanca

 

 

 

The beautiful plaza mayor of Salamanca.

 

 

 

And, my room in my first house during my homestay in Salamanca.

 

 

I will have more pictures when my friend sends me his 800 something pictures on his digital camera, but this is all I have for now.
