Sorry this post is coming to you way after the fact, but a few weeks ago we had an excursion where we stopped at ANOTHER CATHEDRAL (It's getting old for me too), a monastery and wine country (obviously the crowd favorite). Below is the cathedral of Burgos, which of course was beautiful on the outside, but I'm a little tired of seeing/touring all of these cathedrals when they have the same history and basically the same architectural appearance. However, the trip was fun nonetheless!
Below we are wearing our headphones for the cathedral tour! Those precious pieces of plastic allowed us to hear Javier (our tour guide) continually yelling in our ear for about an hour. He never quite grasped the concept of using his microphone discreetly, thus we ripped those headphones off about 15 min into the tour.
Below is inside the monastery of Yuso. This particular tour was interesting but I remember that it was freezing that day and so all I could think about was getting back onto the bus! The monastery is nestled into the side of a mountain near wine country and actually has a twin monastery above it called Suso. We were only able to see the Yuso monastery.
I'm terrible and forgot his name, but this is our wonderful and patient tour guide of the winery. The winery was interesting, but it was hard to understand what he was explaining to us because I'm not too familiar with wine vocabulary in general let alone in Spanish. It was still a great experience and we were able to taste several delicious glasses of wine throughout the tour.
I think Brianna was trying to steal a bottle?
We wore our wine glasses around our neck the whole tour with these nifty little necklaces. The pocket also included a bag of pretzels so that the wine didn't go straight to our heads, which DID NOT help at all. I recall our program director Santos telling us that we were all drunk as he stumbled and tripped over the root of a vine ha! Best part of this trip!
