Today the study abroad program that I am on took us
on a trip to Girona and Tossa de Mar, 2 cities north of Barcelona. Girona is an
old town of 100,000 people. There is only one vacant house in the town that is
for sale, otherwise people just pass their houses onto other members of their
family. We got to go on a tour of one of the cathedrals in the town and it was
amazing! It has the largest nave in the world without any columns in the middle
to support it (the nave is the big area inside the church in front of the altar
where everyone sits). After we left Girona we went down to a beach town called
Tossa de Mar. It was absolutely gorgeous with clear blue water and not a cloud
in the sky! Some of my friends and I rented snorkeling gear and swam around in
the water for a while. We saw lots of fish, sea urchins, and some jellyfish!
The water is still very nice for this time of year, but by the time we got out
I was freezing. Overall it was another perfect day in Spain!
