We left Barcelona a little disappointed because of Robyn and Joseph getting there things stolen. We had spent all morning at the Embassy in Barcelona getting Rob and Joe new passports. It did put a little damper on an otherwise great trip. We rented a car in Barcelona, against everyone's advice and we started our drive to Madrid. Nate had wanted to make a stop midway in this city, Zaragoza. It was litterally 3 hours from Barcelona and 3 from Madrid. We got off the freeway as the sun was going down. We started driving into town and boom out of nowhere, El Pillar. A beautiful, gorgeous cathedral. We all started screaming and I jumped out of the car to get a pic with the sun shining on it. It was really one of the coolest things I have seen. We parked our car and started running around to see everything before the sun went down. What a great city. Probably the cleanest city I have come across in a while, with nothing under contruction. We all perked up and left Zaragoza happy and excited for the last part of our trip! Had we not rented a car and took the train like everyone told us, we would have never found this gem. For me it was the highlight of our trip. There are no words to explain how awesone this big little city was,in the middle of nowhere!
Robyn and I taking on the world!
Robyn and Joseph in happier times!
Nate has a gift of getting just the right pictures. Watching him getting these pictures is purely entertaining. He calles himself hyper hippo. He speed walks with his camera around his neck trying to get every little detail. It is hard to keep an eye on him. He is known to disappear with everyone screaming his name trying to find him. It drives me batty, because I always start thinking he was kiddnapped and sold as a love slave! He does get some awesome pics though!
So Quaint!....
Beautiful streets of Zaragoza at night.
One more picture of El Pillar before we get back in the car, and continue on too Madrid...
