Ahh… Today was such a good day,
we went to the beach in Luanco and it was so great. It is the cutest little city with a great
beach! The beach was small compared to
the ones I’ve been to in California but I never felt cramped; it was very cozy. We did not have classes today because it is a
holiday in Oviedo, “Martes de Campo."
The story behind this holiday is
this rich lady (who I don’t remember the name) decided one day to give all the
poor people a free sandwich and it became a tradition. Now people just go to the parks, country or
mountains and drink sidra and have the traditional sandwich.
So instead of doing that a group
of us went up to Luanco and spend the day at the beach! A lot of the old women there were topless,
which I expected, but it was still a little weird. Everyone is Spain is so open and
relaxed. It is so different from Utah;
we definitely are so sheltered there!
We laid out for most of the day
but we ate at this cute authentic seafood place and it had such good shrimp and
I usually don’t like seafood! It was fun
ordering because it was all in Spanish and we didn’t really know any of the
terms for seafood so we didn’t really know what we were getting ourselves
into. After we ate we got some ice cream
and it was some good stuff. I swear
everything in Europe tastes better than in the states. One girl we were with got rice pudding
favored ice cream, which was disgusting haha but she liked it.
The bus ride there was only six
euros so we will definitely be returning here because we didn’t have time to
cliff dive! I have some gnarly tan lines
but I freaking love tan lines (except on my feet and legs). It was very nice to have a day just to relax
and enjoy the sun.

May 30 : Acuario
Today we went to the Aquarium in Gijón and it was a good time. We went with our group of the U and it was fun to have everyone there. There is only so much you can say about an aquarium so... I will just post some pictures of it!
