Touring Around Alcalá Part 2

Well here is a slightly late update of how I passed the time last Sunday!

I was too tired from my explorations of Madrid the day before to return to the city so I decided to explore my own city!

 The birds are everywhere.  They nest on top of just about every tall point in the town.  It's fantastic.  They also make this strange clicking noise when they call out that are kind of eerie at night.

They are huge birds with gigantic nests.

Here is my beautiful town square.  It's the view of Plaza Cervantes from the street I walk up from my home stay.  I love that I've figured out how to shoot panoramas on my camera!!!

 The street that our University Building is on.

 An unknown building on the square.

 I really should figure out what this is....

 La Plaza de Cervantes

 So after, we walked along the outskirts of the city because it is bordered by nothing but wilderness.  It's really beautiful.  This is me and my friend Bethany from the MD group.

 The landscape is amazing, and at times it looks like the landscape of the southwest!

It was a warm Sunday afternoon and everyone was out with their families in this little area biking, rollerblading, and playing fútbol!  We had a wonderful time just taking a 2 hour walk meandering about the city!
