Girona For The Day

I got back from Girona an hour ago and I can honestly say that I think it is one of the most beautiful places in Spain from what I have seen.  The city is north of Barcelona and is a small city divided by a river.  The town for some reason is moderately wealthy and the buildings are well preserved.  There is the old city wall that we followed for a little bit in the morning.  After we did some sketching in this really interesting complex.  After we had lunch then went to the Arabic Baths and the old Roman Church, which is one of the best examples of the Roman Style in Spain.  The train ride back was rough and we ended getting off somewhere we hadn’t originally planned, but it all turned out to be good.
