Bermiego

Holaaa

I actually have an excuse this time for not writing! I had one hellovaweek what with school work and the such.  I had 2 exams and a 10 minute presentation (in Spanish!), but now it's Friday, it's a beautiful day, and I'm done!

Last weekend I went with my host mom to her house in Asturias in a town called Bermiego.  It was pretty cool because it was like going back to the 19th century, plus electricity.  The roads were slanted, made out of stone, only wide enough to just barely fit a sedan, and curved around the houses.  There can't be more than 100 people living in this little pueblo on the side of the mountain.  It was definitely a unique experience - when you go somewhere as a tourist, you go to famous spots or big cities - never the side of a mountain where the people are still working on the same farm their family worked on 500 years ago.  Oh, and it was also beautiful!

The entire pueblo in one picture!

This little town's claim to fame is a 2000-or-so-year-old tree that they claim is the oldest tree in Europe. Okayyy.  But it was still pretty cool. It was a pretty good weekend, we ate paella and walked around the little village.

Honestly, not much is going on, which is why I haven't written.  I don't have any concrete plans for this weekend, so we'll see.

I hope you enjoyed the photos!
