Wet, wet, wet!

¡Hola todos!
I am writing from a hostel in Santiago de Compostela in the province of Galicia in Northwestern Spain.  It is absolutely beautiful here!  It is so so green.  Galicia reminds me of Iowa a bit :)  Today it hasn´t stopped raining for a moment and our feet haven´t been dry the entire day but it is wonderful!!!
Yesterday we were up at 3am to catch out RyanAir flight.  On Friday, we visited the main attraction of Santiago - this enormous cathedral build in the 11th century.  (I will post pics when I return to Alicante).  Then we walked along the Camino de Santiago, which is the main way taken to get to Santiago in the medieval times.  Santiago is one of the top three pilgrimage sites for Christians - among Rome and Jerusalem.  One of the reasons is James, one of Jesus´ twelve disciples, is said to remain here.  He was beheaded in Jersulam in 44AD and then brought back to Santiago, which is the site where he did a lot of his work.  It was so crazy to be in a place where one of the twelve disciples worked and is said to be buried.  I mean, this man walked with Jesus, talked with Jesus, ate dinner with Jesus, and learned about the Word of God by the Son of God, himself!  ¡Que guay!
Today we went to a market and saw some other sites.  But I need to go because I have two minutes left on the computer.  But I will update with more info and pictures later!
Un beso,

Part II
Saturday poured rain!  It was kinda fun though.  It rained so hard that we put plastic bags around our feet inside out boots to keep them somewhat dry.  I don´t know if my boots will ever recover haha.  The market was amazing.  Everything is so fresh.  Actually, some of the seafood was still alive, believe it or not.  Galicia is known for amazing seafood.  We bought mejillones and cooked them later that night at the hostel!  Yummy!  For lunch on saturday we had kebaps which were absolutely amazing which is why we went back the next day.  On Sunday, it didn´t rain that much so we went to this beautiful park that had a fantastic view of the Cathedral from afar.  It was perfect.  The whole trip was perfect and totally worth it.  Sunday night we slept in the airport which was an interesting experience... 
Anyways this week is going to be crazy (again) and this weekend is Sevilla!  
Stay tuned for more updates!  And check out the pictures!  This cathedral will blow your mind!
