Zaragoza

I'm writing this in Barcelona, but we stopped today in Zaragoza to see the amazing basilica! They have a pillar that the Virgin Mary appeared on that pilgrims kiss but I figured since I already touched the rock she stood on in Toledo I'm all good ;) And the big news- el rey Juan Carlos I (the King) is abdicating, which means that his son Felipe will be coronated while we are here! We are living Spanish history!

Gothic, Arabic and Roman influences

two of the three bombs that dropped on the church during
wwII but miraculously never exploded

one heck of an organ

poor john the baptist...

me and a lovely statue

i loved this!

We walked around Barcelona a little bit tonight, so I can't wait for our full tour tomorrow! Lots of pictures to come!
