Madrid, Spain 2015-2016

Day trip to Salamanca & Avila!


Ancient Roman Bridge




Frog on the skull














Bell tower



Avila


Main Square


City walls


They surround the entire historical city.


The next day I went to a Cleopatra exhibition in Madrid.



The next weekend we explored the city some more.  This is an old fashioned mail box.




A wall made of plants.


Inside the main train station.  We were surprised to find it had a giant greenhouse!


And a ton of turtles!


Even a few pigeons. 


We tried some absinthe at a really small but cosy bar with a friend from my Spanish class.
