Who would have thought...

I got to see a roman aquaduct and a egyptain temple...interesting.

Here is the temple.


View of the stones...well made, don´t you think?


I got to touch it too, I was transported to egypt...ok well maybe not, but that doesn´t matter I got to touch it anyway.


Close up shots of the carvings inside the temple.


Look how detailed, amazing. No power tools, all hand carved.

HOW DO YOU READ THIS?¿?¿?¿?

Stare at this for awhile... All I understood was that the 27th of March there was show going on. I knew that I could go see it. Now the bottom I couldn´t seem to figure out....


That is when I had a conversation with an older spanish man. He didn´t speak english and with my poor spanish we had a conversation about these parts of the sign. All I know is that the ticket office was open when I when there. So this section not so much important to me.


Now this sign...this is important , why don´t you all try and decipher and see if you get it.


The red square going down(not across) are the levels at the bullfight building. Andanadas is the top-nose bleed seats...Tendios Bajos is the bottom- front row. The red going across says sombre, sombre, sombre y sol, and sol. Which in translation means shade, shade, shade and sun, and sun. Then this prices are listed. I got nose bleed seats and in the sun and shade. There are going to be 6 bulls and 3 should be in shade and 3 should be in sun. I paid 3.20 euros for the ticket. That nice man who was helping me told me that all seats were good. So anything would be fine for me. I learned that the bulls live in the stable things attached to the ring. I learned that it hold 18,000 people, and the building is 100 years old or so. It is a pretty building.


Yep that is me...



It has a mosque, islamic feel to the outside. Very pretty. Will take pictures on Sunday of the bulls and torredo or the guys with the red fabric. I think we call them manadors.

Ok off I go tapas tonight at the hostel.
