Our final tour in Santiago was of the Cathedral roof. Yes, the roof. We climbed all the way to the top and spent almost an hour on that rooftop soaking up the last rays of the beautiful autumn day. Our tour was also in English, which was extremely unusual, and I must say it was almost harder to understand the guide because she had a difficult time pronouncing English words that I would have understood better in Spanish anyway. However, it's always nice to hear my native tongue.
Breathtaking isn't it? This is one city that I will definitely return to the next time I am in Spain.
In other news, our class made the front page of the León newspaper yesterday. They interviewed us asking our opinions about the elections and our hopes for the future. All 13 of us voted for Obama and so today they returned to class to interview us about our feelings on his second victory and what we would like to see happen in the next 4 years. It is safe to say that we are little celebrities now that we have been featured in the paper twice. Thanks to everyone who exercised their right to vote this year! For those who didn't, you have no excuse seeing as I voted all the way from Spain!
