Whew! Time to breathe. Let's talk Galicia!

Well, the last few weeks have certainly been busy ones, but they've been so exciting!!  For this post, I'll just tell you about one of the trips I've taken, and tomorrow I'll update you on everything else!!

Two Mondays ago, we ventured to Galicia with the program for a 3 day trip.  It is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen.  We went to Santiago de Compostelo to visit the cathedral there, which is a very famous Christian pilgrimage site, and dates back to the 11th century!  It is known as one of the best, if not the best, examples of a cruciform church in the world.  We even got to walk around on the roof...it was simply stunning!


The next day, we went to another pilgrimage site - San Andres.  It is in the northwestern-most corner of Galicia, and thus Spain.  It was absolutely gorgeous.  Words can't describe the wonder I felt when I was there.  It was so powerful to see and feel God's presence in such a stunning place.  The pictures don't begin to do it justice, but it's worth a shot!
This dog got a RIDICULOUS amount of attention from all of us...we've been so deprived of pets!!




notice: the bottom half of the blue/white is water...beautiful!!!



The day after this, we went to la Coruña to observe more beauty at the Torre de Hercules, the oldest Roman tower like it that is still used today!
