Dos Castillas Avila

... out of the nation out of fear of the Inquisition. Since her parents were paranoid about being associated with their father, they too turned into fundamentalist nut jobs, and sent their daughter, Teresa, to a convent to live out her life in solitude. This made sense, given Teresa's chronic illness which could have been treated in a hospital had she been sent there. Teresa, apparently worried about carrying on the family tendency to be a nut job...began having ...

This morning, I woke up and got ready for my trip to Avila and Segovia. I went to the tour office, and waited for the tour to start (a half hour late). We got on the bus, and were on our way. We saw the air force building which was modeled after El Escorial and we saw the presidents house. We also saw the mountains, some windmills for energy, and some bulls being lazy in a huge pasture. The sights were very pretty. I slept ...

... thought of himself as superior to the Pope in all regards and fashioned the Spanish Catholic Church according to his own religious beliefs. I imagine that many people have spat or stomped on his grave during the year, but his loyalists maintain fresh flowers on his grave at all times. It is hard to explain how awe-inspiring and yet offensive the site is, but it certainly merits a visit if you are ever in Spain.

After our outrageous adventure in Santarem we were on the home stretch of our Pilgrimage. We were heading to Avila the home and birth place of the first female doctor of the church St. Theresa, and John of the Cross. We stayed and prayed in the church dedicated to her and walked around the town, it was a quick visit, and then we were off to Zaragoza.

... but the toll to use the road was €7.50! anyway we got to Avila and it is an amazing town with probably the best city walls in Europe they are hundreds of years old (started in the 11th century) and are still in immaculate condition. We went into the cathedral which was beautiful and also walked along the top of the walls. The walls just keep on going and going and going.

Hoje começaram as Jornadas Medievais. A cidade tá toda decorada e tem várias coisas interessantes espalhadas pra ser ver. Desde exposiçao de aves de rapina até apresentaçoes de arqueiros (vestidos a cararáter, logicamente). O mais interessante, para mim, foi a praça do mercado, onde estao as comidas (tem uma tenta só de azeitonas, mais de 50 tipos). Como eu nem gosto de azeitonas... me acabei de comer ...

Bom, depois de uns dias aqui, acho q já fiz a maiora parte dos passeios (falta entrar no museu de santa teresa e algumas igrejas extra-muros). Aí estao algumas fotos dos lugares por onde fui esses dias. Ah, e uma curiosidade (q só descobri depois de um tempo), o convento onde eu to instalado (o de Santo ...

... I go back to the 2nd place and check in and get a map of the city. Damn this is luxury. My own bed, clean bathroom, TV. Sweet!! I put all my bags down and wander through the city. I´m as bit hungry and find one of the few restaurants still open. I go to the bar and order a beer and the tapas that my neighbor is having, fried mussels. Identified post first nibble. From there I try to order a meal. Harldy anyone in Avila knows English. The bartender knows ...

... of 3/10. We went to a pretty exclusive club. Joy Eslava, theater and discoteca, Marqy do you know it? It was list only, so we bought a bottle for €100. This is funny, regular entry is 30 per person, cocktails are 10. For 100, neither of us paid entry, we got a table in the VIP, and security took us to our table. We also had all the mixers we wanted paid for, and incredible service. Place was very nice, we danced our asses off, and shut the place down. We got home ...
