¡Las Catedrales!

Just a quick update to say woohoo it's Friday! This week was rough for academics. I had to type a paper to turn in today and I didn't have a computer! I had to use the school's computer before they closed and also borrow a friend's. I did manage to visit the public library here in Salamanca, though. It has four floors, but is relatively small. It used to be someone's house hundreds of years ago and is named Casa de las Conchas(house of shells) because of the shells he decorated it with. I'll probably be spending more time there as my research paper's due date draws closer.

Today we visited the two cathedrals of Salamanca. They are referred to as the old and the new although even the new one is several centuries old. The original is in the romansque style and the second in gothic style, but they share a wall which makes for quite a church. We were able to climb the stairs and walk along the outer walls of the new cathedral. I snapped a few photos so you'll get a glimpse of it.

Have a good weekend! Tomorrow I'm visiting Ávila and Segovia.
