Asturias
This part of Spain is so spectacular. There are so many natural parks around here and I can hardly wait to post the pictures I’ve been taking.. however, due to the http://www.descensodelsella.com festival beginning tomorrow morning, the library where I get internet access will be closing early.. like in ten minutes (at 2pm).
I know I keep writing this, but expect a huge deluge of posts upon my return to the States on August 11th. I’ve been writing tons of stuff, but I wanted to reference photos and they take too long to upload first.
Anyway, I’ve got the traveling bug and I am eager to come back to Europe. Next time I want to visit touristy spots.. like Rome and London and Barcelona and such.
I know that my experience here has been unique as the places I’ve been to aren’t typical tourist destinations.. well for American tourists (there are tons of European tourists). It has been kind of fun to be one of the few Americans in this area for a while.
Of course that’s all changing as I watch this area transform in to a giant fiesta. It is going to get crazy!
On my run this morning I already saw TONS of people parked out everywhere and tents popping up all over the place. This quiet town now has a party atmosphere- and this is only the beginning!
