The week we got home from Madrid, we were able to take a day with friends and go explore some new spots in our beautiful new country. We drove 3 hours north and went swimming in one of the "Natural Swimming Pools." It was beautiful and refreshing!
 |
| Weston is a really good swimmer... but that water was cold! :) |
 |
| Swimming is one of the boys' favorite things to do! |
 |
| I am so surprised at how much Carolina loves the water... even cold water! |
|
|
After swimming for a while, the kids got hungry. We drove another 15 minutes and found a beautiful place near a creek. The boys loved being outside where they could be as loud as they wanted. I seriously think water and rocks can keep my boys occupied for an entire day. :)
 |
| These are some typical Spanish picnic dishes- a Spanish "Tortilla"- made of eggs and potatoes. Carolina loved it. :) |
After we ate, we went hiking along the creek. It was so peaceful and GREEN! We have to travel north in order to find green. It's very dry and hot in Cáceres. :) After the kids got tired of walking, we drove to a nearby town for some refreshments.
 |
| This was the town square. We sat at a little cafe and got coffee... the kids got popsicles. |
 |
| Carolina had her first popsicle ever. Can you tell she loved it? :) |
 |
| This is very typical in Extremadura. That is ham hanging... very expensive ham, actually. |
We had a long drive home after a fun day exploring, but it was so worth it. Spain is so beautiful and we have so much more to see!
