Iglesia Redonda.

Literally, "Round Church". I walked by this church on my way to school every day. It struck me as particularly beautiful on october 27th with the light reflecting through the clouds and the fountain.

I had to bend over backwards to get this, so appreciate it.

Unintentionally awesome picture of a fountain in Barcelona's cathedral courtyard.  

Why thanks, it is amazing. I appreciate the praise.

The city is going all out with their Christmas decorations. This is a small sampling of the lights draped over every street in the old part of town.

When my friends and I realized that our time in Spain was limited, we made a Salamanca bucket list. 

The Convent of San Esteban was a beautiful church/grounds we walked by fairly often but always assumed we'd go in later. When we finally shelled out the 3 euro entrance fee, this is what awaited us.

We made a point to sit outside for meals whenever possible. Upside: you can watch the sunset and smell the ocean. Downside: smokers. (Hasn't Europe been informed about lung cancer?)

Luckily, we found a (cheap) cafe on the water just as the sun was setting on our first night in Cinque Terre. I sampled their delicious pesto lasagna. In fact, pesto was invented in that region. Probably in that very cafe.
