Hello! I like the blog!
ResponderEliminarI really like the way culture ties into everyday things, like handicrafts or just something simple that you might find on the street. Anyways, speaking of handicrafts I thougt that those were a great alternative to plastic, I liked the picture of the woven basket, they were cute and reusable! a 'win win' situation.
The music festival that was mentioned also sounded pretty fun. In America we have music festivals too, like "Coacella" or "Bonaroo". They have similar bands to yours, Mostly Indie bands like "The Killers" or "Arcade Fire". They are tons of fun and a great way to meet new people, wouldn't you say?
I loved the Picture of teh decorated horse, The horse itself was beautiful, but the head piece was glamourous! I have a love for cultural art and that particular picture made me really happy. The Cavea was also really pretty, but the seats look terribly uncomfortable...
I really enjoyed reading about your daily life, it was very similar to mine, I also go to sleepy late about twelve or so, but I have to wake up around five thirty....it's aweful....
Good job on the blog guys, it was interesting and I enjoyed reading the posts! Keep it up!

All of these museums sound pretty nice. I want to go and visit each and every one of them. They sound more exciting than any museum I have ever been to.
ResponderEliminarThe Roman Theatre Museum seems to be really cool; all of the pictures seem very unique and interesting. They make me want to go and live there. Or spend a lot of time there.

I like science and water! And also underwater archeology. And the pillar from the theater museum. It's impressive.
ResponderEliminarThis large display of archeological history shows the cultural richness of Spain. The underwater archeology part of your society is interesting, I wish the history of America reached back to as far as yours does. I wish to experience this museum soon.

I was shocked that some of the museums were established not too long ago, like in 1996. When I think of a museum, I just assume it is old. The Cavea theatre was very intresting to see pictures of. From reading about the museums, it is easy to observe that Spain is very cultural oriented. The art in Spain is just beautiful, like the statues and the columns have so much deatil.
