Day 2 - Ronda, Spain
May 31, 2008
Driving into the mountains
Chris's car up ahead of us
Church in Ronda
Large square in the new town section
Ronda is pretty
Carey and Chris in front of the church
Matt and a fountain
Buildings in Ronda
Outside Spain's oldest bullring
Gotta mock the statues
Also must mock the bull
Climbing around in the bullring
Matt being silly
They don't have bullfights here anymore
The girls
Matt the bull is attacking me
OK, now we're composed
How can we be even sillier...let's see...
We can do a mock bullfight!
Yes, there were people laughing at us
From the second story
Hi!
Us on the upper level
OK, last one!
In the bullfighting museum
Lots of costumes (they were really short!)
And dead bulls!
And random guns
Other part of the bullring
They used to keep the bulls in here
OK, leaving the bullring
Hard to show how high up we are - now we're at the gorge
Taking photos near the edge
Steeeeeeep drop off
Matt and Erin
Boys enjoying the view
Spanish countryside
Sooooo cool-looking
Us and the countryside
And there's where we just were!
Gigantic enormous bridge
It goes wayyyyyyyy down
Can't get enough of the dramaticness
Now we're going to head over there
Another plaza on our way to the bridge
Making our way over the bridge
They used to throw war prisoners into the gorge here
Hi, Matt
Eventually we will work our way around to those terraces
But for now we will photograph them
Walking in the old town
This picture doesn't even look real
Chris being silly with his cafe
Another, less-dramatic bridge
Walking up the old ruined walls
The Moors built walls around the old town to defend it
That was a reallllllly long time ago
Beautiful day
Railings? Nah, who needs railings?
I really like this picture
John and Becky
Carey and the town of Ronda
Same shot with Erin
Becky looking chic with her new pashmina
Becky the bandolero
Church of Santa Maria la Mayor
Square in front of the church
Inside the church
More of the church
Carey in the pulpit
Arabic writing; this church used to be a mosque
Orange trees
In the Moorish baths
Moorish star skylights
Erin at the baths
Matt and scenery
All 6 of us!
Walking back to our car (yay GPS)
Driving over the super-tall bridge over the gorge
Driving back down the mountain
Cool scenery on the drive home
Buying dinner at the grocery store (love the cute carts)
