Sometime in the 3rd week, the sun came out for the afternoon and I was finally able to snap some good pictures of the city and this really big hill across the bay. The name of this hill is Peña Cabarga and it is frequently included in La Vuelta de España. Needless to say I decided that I would at least have to attempt to climb it someday before I leave.
While walking to class that day I also spotted this strange snake on the sidewalk. I showed it to my professors but they had never seen anything like it. Maria, my host mom, thought it was an eel of some kind. Maybe a bird dropped it on the side walk? It was alive and flicking its tongue in and out when I saw it but appeared to be injured. Everyone assured me that there are no venomous snakes in Spain... at least not in this part.
Taking advantage of the sun, I went with some other students for a little hike to the "faro" or lighthouse on Cabo Mayor. The scenery was so beautiful and after having lived in non-stop dreary, grayness for over two weeks, we really appreciated being able to get outside and even see the sky!
