Hello Everyone,
On Monday, October 31st, I went to Monasterio de Piedra. It is an old monastery and nature preserve about an hour north of Zaragoza. I went with my host mom Marta’s class. She teaches 6th grade Spanish, English, Art, and Religion. The bus ride consisted of myself, Marta and a few other teachers, and about sixty 6th graders singing and telling jokes. It was a fun bus ride to say the least! When we arrived, we went to a birds of prey show which was really neat. After the show we walked and toured the nature preserve. We then took a break for lunch. Afterwards, we toured the monastery. Some of the monastery is in ruins but some is also preserved. We the hopped on the bus and headed back to Zaragoza. Although I was a little sad to be missing Halloween in the US, I had a great, adventurous day. Also, after I saw the pictures that my mom sent me of the 2 ½ feet of snow that fell in NY, I wasn’t feeling too bad about missing Halloween there. The nature preserve was beautiful! There were countless waterfalls and caves, it was incredible. The caves with water reminded me of one of my favorite movies, The Goonies, which I happened to see here in Spanish! Anyways, I really enjoyed the trip. So far, it was my favorite outdoor/nature trip. I hope you all enjoy the pictures below!
Until next time, Brian
