Valladolid

re


So valladolid huh? we were there for two days in total and loved every minute of it. i totally understand why emma fell so in love with that city. Its so picturesque and beautiful and antique yet still holds on to the modern aspects as well. We got there on Wednesday and had a bit of trouble finding a hostel but eventually found it after lots of flights of stairs and sore shoulders. We wandered a bit around the beautiful Plaza Mayor, I got led to Emma's old school and got a glimpse of her old everyday life. We went back and in all spanish style took a siesta and then headed out to the Dulce Burbuja, emma's favorite sweet shop in Valladolid and let me tell you, it was very sweet! we then found dinner and stumbled upon the Euro Cup, the European soccer version of the super bowl, and we found it actually very interesting! Barcelona won! anyways, we then headed over to Cine Roxy to see Night at the Museum 2 and left a little disappointed. Thursday we got up and switched hostels before walking over to the beautiful medieval cathedral, the law school which is somewhat beauty and the beastish and then headed over to the Colegio de San Gregorio, according to Emma is a beautifully ornate building, but was covered in scaffolding for renovations. We then got some bread meat and cheese and splurged on some watermelon and headed over to campo grande, the beautiful park to feed the peacocks and picnick for lunch. We headed back for another siesta before heading back to wander the Plaza Mayor with ice cream in hand enjoying our last hours before leaving for Amsterdam.
