I walked through thorn bushes to find Jesus

things left for Jesus, why he needs to smoke I will never know

Jesus

Something we learned about in art!

Hey all,

This morning I got up at what I would like to call is early and by Spanish standards it is, 10am. I had roses when I woke up from Evan that he was sneaky and planned with one of the girls here. :) After, I walked over to campus to meet a few people for the journey of the day walking up the mountain to Jesus. We all thought it couldn't be that bad just look at Jesus and walk up. I wish it was that easy. Almost 3 hours later after encountering crazy thorn bushes that wanted to rip your legs off, a little ancient history that we knew that facts about thanks to art class, and a few bahhing sheep, donkeys, horses and bulls we made it to Jesus. The peak at the top where the statue stands is 6,000 meters up. I have no idea how high that is in American stands if someone looks it up let me know. All I know was it was a nasty trek up on both roads and pathways. We stayed at the top at Jesus for about 30 min, more to catch our breath and to take pictures of the amazing views. All around all you could see was snow capped mountains and the city of Oviedo below us. It was so nice however I think my legs are about to fall off and on top of it we are going to Leon tomorrow so by Monday my legs are going to be dead!
