Valladolid

Yesterday, I arrived in a city called Valladolid, which is a city about 2 hours northwest of Madrid. My host family visits every weekend because that's where they used to live and is also where their daughter, Maria, lives and goes to the University. When we got there, my host parents and I met up with their two friends. We all went to a Tapas bar nearby and shared some delicious pork, octopus, wine, and bread. Going to a Tapas bar is very typical in Spain. Many people go to just meet up with friends, talk, and share a snack and a drink. We had a lovely time at the Tapas bar. One thing I found interesting is that they sold cigarettes in a vending machine! There is a picture attached. After the Tapas bar, my host mom showed me around the city and like most of Spain, the buildings were beautiful and very old. I had a great time site-seeing around Valladolid:
