Morella Trip!

Morella...
Hiking with Dennie.

The cathedral in Morella.

Me and the cathedral...

Walking up the castle in Morella.
One of the castle gates...

Making my way to the top of the castle.

The top....

Looking down on the bull ring and part of the tiny village...

At the top of the castle. A walk through the rain and up a pretty intense hill gets us to an incredible view..... and finally ....." I AM THE KING OF THE CASTLE!!!".
The textile factory that I stayed at in Morella. Pretty neat and one steal of a deal! It was the first time I had stayed in a bunk bed in years! I loved it!

Some of the scenery as we drove towards the Pyranees!

Silliness......

Going for an evening hike before din dins!
Stopping to play a little frisbee in a clover field!

All dressed up and ready for some rapids.

Got to love Pepecar.....a rental agency that does nto check your car before or after the trip and does not care about returning it with gas....as long as you can roll on in. 16 bucks a day, and really....you just cant go wrong!

Cannoning....basically, this meant wearing the harnesses and rock climbing down a mountain, only climbing down through waterfall shoots and slides. It was wet and cold and totally amazing! I am so glad I got to do it!
Our hostel in Sort (the witch village in the moutains!)

Me, driving throught he moutains!

Amazing tunnels through the moutains that were kilometers long! So amazing!

Driving home from the Pyranees!
The view from my bedroom window. I know so depressing! ha!

Looking down on Valencia from the bell tower.

One of the banks here in Valencia. The buildings continue to amaze me!

Our very interesting group of friends....from all over!

Plaza de la Virgen....

Plaza de la Reina (my neighbourhood)

Castle view, Peniscola

The castle at Peniscola. Part of orientation week was to tour the castle, stop for a med. seafood lunch, then bask in the sun and swim (with jelly fish unfortunately)! SO beautiful!

one of the Church walls by my apartment.
La Tomatina....We had NO idea what we were getting in to!
Goggles! Gotta be prepared! lol
( (Sideways...man!!!) After La Tomatina. It was the craziest thing I have ever done. HANDS DOWN! But, that being said, I am glad that I didn't know what to expect, because I don't know if I would have had the guts to actually go otherwise!

One of the many beautiful buildings here.
Plaza de la Virgen... very close to my house...a great place for an evening walk.
So beautiful.
A playground in the park.
In the hand of the giant....
