Excursion 1: May 26

León and Astorga

Each week we have a different excursion on Saturdays, this week we went to the city of León and Astorga.  It was not the best excursion though, unfortunately it was bad weather so they had to change our excursion last minute.  We were suppose to go on a hike and the lake but it was raining so we took a bus to these cities where it was sunny.

In Astorga we saw the cathedral and just explored the city.  It was a very small city but it has many interesting sites.  They have a chocolate museum but we didn't go there because we heard it wasn't worth paying for. 

Cathedral

Castle

In León we arrived right at siesta so we just had some lunch at this place and it was DISGUSTING. I just had a coke because my mama prepared me a lunch but the coke was so yummy, way better than in America.  In León there was a wedding so it was quite busy and a lot of random guys there dressed up weird! They were having a bachelor party.  This town had a different feel to it; it was dirty but the buildings were so unique. 

Catedral de Santa Maria


This cathedral was beautiful, by far the best one we have seen yet! There was a wedding going on there so we didn't have a long time there but I got quite a few good pictures. I love the stain glass windows so much, I want one in my house when I am older, its decided. This cathedral was one of the favorite buildings of the builder of the Salt Lake Temple so he took some ideas from it.
