Girona

Sooo...Thanks to some very generous loved ones and a little impatience on my part, I already have a new camera. it's like Christmas, early! So, this past saturday i went with a group to a monastery called San Pere de Rodas and we also went to a little town called San Martin de Ampurias, and we also saw the Greek and Roman ruins at Ampurias (Northern Barcelona - Girona). note: the pictures are not in order. Here goes.....
Greek ruins at Ampurias
more Greek ruins - the tour guide talked a little too much, but it was interesting
Roman ruins - entrance to the forum
The forum
a roman bath
my new camera, since i can't take a picture of the camera itself
this is how i make coffee - sorry, i should've oriented it! The grinder actually does a really good job (for costing 6.50€), grinding it really fine.
This is the town of San Martin. It's really close to Ampurias and it's were we ate lunch. It's a really picturesque little town. Sorry about the italics, typing accident on my part.
This is the beautiful monastery. it is situated at the top of a hill, very close the the Costa Brava in Girona. It was very chilly and windy, but worth it.
I walked out onto an old pier at San Martin and had lunch - it was soo beautiful - the town is in the background.

So, that was my weekend. Sorry to take some fire away from your blog philip (which was excellently done, by the way) i just had a lot of free time.

Love you alll!!!!!!!!!!

Yay for the new camera! So glad you could replace it- it's fun to see your beautiful surroundings. I would love to see pics of your home and host family someday. Now it's time to visit Thailand and give us some of that Settler's action. Stuart is our reigning Lord of Cattan. Love, Candice
