roman ruins [tarragona, spain]

We slept in a bit, had breakfast, and left the hotel to see some of Tarragona. Just a few steps away was the Roman Amphitheater. Its location was really the best part - the beach dropped down below it. Made a pretty picture. Made me excited for Rome. We continued to walk up through the old city, stopping along the way for some nice views of the sea and some historical sites. We happened upon an outdoor market that was mostly antiques. We found some interesting stuff, including a wind-up watch that I got that you can watch all the little gears moving the hands through the back. I really love it. We also found the old walls of the city and walked up for some nice views overlooking Tarragona, the mountains, and the sea. Very typical coastal Spain.

We headed back to Barcelona in the late afternoon, so I had plenty of time to recover for class on Monday. Or not.
