A walk around Oviedo...



Those are some random pictures from Oviedo. The bottom one is the buildings with the butt statue as they call it.

Hey all,

Since I only had one class today I decided I would walk around Oviedo and explore a little on my own. I ended up wandering fr 2 hours and finally realized how I got lost last night, after being a little lost today.

Some random thoughts...

When I got back the gossip show was on, apparently the president of the conservatives here posed in some pictures that are sure as heck not conservative causing a stur, at least the US isn't the only one doing that on a regular basis.

I am currently watching 'gran hermano', big brother and I wonder why the host dresses in old tradition clothing from different provinces every week. Bizarre!

Ok on my walk I did some shopping. It is one of the two times a year everything is on sale, although I found nothing, which is most likely a blessing in itself.

I found the pastry shop that my dad is obsessed with from the food show Road Trip through Spain. Its over 100 years old. They had wines along the walls to go with desserts and the old fashion cash register from when it first opened. The place smelled amazing. Too bad it was so late by the time I found it there was nothing left. I will have to go back sooner rather than later, since I heard they are going out of business.

For all of you who HATE mini skirts and Uggs I found the Spanish version, Short Shorts and stockings!?!? I don't understand. Its winter put pants on!

They have this department store called El Corte Ingles, its everywhere. With everything 60% off its still too expensive. It reminds me of Bloomingdales, but most of the designers cost much less in the states.

That is all for now! Have a good weekend!
