MERIDA

On the way back to Salamanca we stopped of at Merida, which is know for it ancient Roman ruins. Jesus took us on a tour of ruins. We walked through the coliseum and the theater. It was kind of like a little preview of Italy for me!

After the tour we had free time. My parents and I walked through the small town of Merida. We walked across the famous Puenta Romana, which happens to be the longest Roman bridge in Spain. It was about half a mile long. Dad and I made it to the other side, but mom decided to sit down on a bench about 500 feet from the end. We walked back across the bridge and found a café for lunch. I had backed a peanut butter sandwich, to avoid eating anymore gross Spanish foods. My parents ordered some pretty pitiful looking sandwiches. My mom said that was the worst tuna fish sandwich she had ever eaten. We headed back to the bus, stopping to get some ice cream on the way. We got to Salamanca around 7. I put my stuff in my apartment and went out to eat with my parents.
