Photos of Extremadura

Last Fall I took a trip with CC-CS to Extremadura, a province above Andalusia. We visited three cities: Cáceres, Mérida, and Trujillo. I'm sorry that these photos are in reverse order... 

This photo is taken from the walls of a castle we visited in Trujillo.

Katie and I had fun taking model shots on the castle walls. =) 

What a beautiful view!!

More model shots!

View from inside this little tower on the wall

Me inside the tower

It was so much fun to walk along the walls!

Most of our CC-CS group on the trip

Still in Trujillo, before going inside the castle 

We went inside a monastery in Trujillo and saw the inside of it. We then bought these really yummy homemade cookies from the nuns there. 

Statue of Francisco Pizarro, who was from Trujillo

On the second day we were in Caceres, in this old Medieval city. You see the stork nests at the top? There's a story that if you touch the feet of a statue (that you can see a few photos down) you will get married soon... but then if you look at the stork nests afterwards you will have children soon after getting married.... Or something like that! 

Uh oh! Haha

The old city

My dear friend Fatima inside the Museum we visited in Mérida

They had some really neat artifacts in here from Roman times

This is actually an old Roman road inside the museum (they built over it). Isn't that cool? 

My friend Hannah and I by the amphitheater

The amphitheater

An old Roman theater. This was one of the coolest things I saw there! If you stand at the top of the stands you can hear the people talking down on the stage! They sure knew a lot about acoustics way back when!! 

Looking down at the stage...
