Leon

Two weekends ago we had our second CIEE trip up to Leon in the region of Castilla y Leon. On our way there we stopped at the Bodegas Yllevra, a vineyard and well bodegas. We got to do a wine tasting and get a tour of the whole underground celler bodega stuff. We then got to Leon and got a tour Fausto-style of the city stopping in the Barrio Humedo, the most popular neighborhood in the city, the plaza mayor, the cathedral with some of the most amazing stained glass windows i've ever seen, and an old monestary. Saturday we got up and went spulunking... wellnot really, but we did go to some amazing caves up in the mountains. We walked about 2 kilometers of beautiful caveage. we then had the rest of the day for free time. Sunday we went to the museum of modern art (i seem to be going to quite of few of those here in spain) and it was actually pretty cool. we then spent the morning at the rostro and headed back home.
