June 21 in Spain

(Sorry this one is late. I had wifi problems)

Yesterday I got to sleep in! We had been waking up fairly early the previous days, and I slept way in, until about 9:30, which is way late for me. Once I finally got up, we went to our favorite local breakfast place; the Bar del Pi. We had our breakfasts, then due to that we had nothing scheduled for that day other than a mid-afternoon flight to Malaga, we walked to the remains of the oldest known synagog in Europe, which happened to be nearby. It was very small, and for ten minutes a staff member explained the history of the place to us. As we were leaving, I realized that I no longer had my bag. We rushed  back to our breakfast restaurant and to my relief the bag was waiting there for us. From there we went to the local cathedral. We walked around, then entered a room that was open to the sky and contained trees and geese. They honked at us for a little bit, then we left. Our final stop for the day before returning to our hotel was another Gaudi house. We walked around it and listened to the audio guide; moving faster than it was and therefore skipping large parts of the tour. Here are some pictures I took of the interior and exterior of the house:



We exited the house and went back to the hotel. We waited a little while, then were picked up by a cab and transported to the airport. At the airport, our tickets turned out to be standby, but we were lucky enough to get seats in the flight. I read on the flight. When we arrived in Malaga, we took a cab to the hotel, checked in, then went out to dinner. The food was okay, but not great. By the time we got back I was exhausted, and read a little before going to sleep.


I thought these mountains were impressive:
