Today we went to Astorga.  I think it's about my 10th time there, but it's still an amazing city!

First, the bus stopped in San Justo de la Vega.  From there we walked a section of the Camino de Santiago.  Someday I will walk the entire thing! It's definitely on my bucket list.  

After we arrived in Astorga, I went with Carmen, Khephra, and 2 practicas to the museo romano.  It was really interesting.  The best part was that inside it was cold - such a great place to escape the sun.

After finishing the museum, we went to a different museum.  This time, the museum of CHOCOLATE!!!!  The kids always love it.  We tried pieces of milk chocolate and dark chocolate.  I liked them both, but in the end, I decided to buy white chocolate with almonds.  It was amazing.

At 14:00 we all met in the park to eat bocadillos and watermelon in the park. I took a quick nap under a tree. It was super relaxing.

After lunch, we went to the cathedral and palacio.  They are both great places, but I think the kids were too tired to really appreciate them.

We finally got to the bus at about 18:00.  It was a long ride, but Carmen and I made it fun by singing and messing around on the microphone.  I think the bus driver hates us though.

Mark, out.
