Zaragoza, that’s where I’m headed next. According to the bus stop posters, Zaragoza was chosen to host the Expo 2008. I went through Barcelona due to public transportation restrictions and that Cadaques is nothing more than a fishing village. I used the ticketing system, which I thought was kind of a rip-off, because my train arrives just in time to miss my next train, which cost more to catch the next train. This made me decide when I return home, to use the AVE train that travels about 300 kilometers per hour.
When I finally arrived in Zaragoza, I was pleasantly surprised, the train station was very clean, and new looking. It gleamed of efficiency and the busy concourse was roomy enough to not get trampled. It must have been due to the preparation for the Expo.
I’m so glad that the people here speak proper Spanish. I feel more at ease and take a taxi to find one of the better Zaragoza Spain hotels with which I was able to find with the helpful folks giving me directions. I go to my beautiful spacious room, unpack and take a little nap before I go and check out some points of interest. I awake refreshed and take a quick shower and change clothes. Not far from my hotel I find an interesting church. The architecture was exquisite. Across the church was a sign on a bridge that said it was 33 degrees, with how wet my underarms are, I already knew it was hot! I walked past a Roman ruins and the sewage system. There was a statue of Caesar Augustus with the stone arched walls behind him.
It was time to get something to eat, but I wanted to walk around some more, this place is so nice that it’s making me reconsider staying here a few more days than I planned.
