Sunday, bloody Sunday - VIDEO of traffic light people

The weird title? Ah yes, our Sunday wasn't THAT bad actually - it's just borrowed from the oldish but still unforgettable U2 song (Sunday Bloody Sunday). And if you haven't yet listened to it, then better do it ASAP, because it's one of the best songs out there ;) And talking about the best things out there - you just have to SEE OUR VIDEO (link below) - "Pedestrians in Avila" :-D

Now to the point - last Sunday we (me, Kristīne, Ilze, Witek) rented a small matchbox of a car and made a 372,8km tour around the region to the west of Madrid. Ávila and Talavera de la Reina were the names of the 2 cities we visited. The first one is probably famous because of its city walls that go around the central part of it, and if you pay some euros you can even walk on top of those walls a bit. The second, Talavera, also had city walls, but not as impressive. As we walked around the historic center, we also saw a strangely curved bridge (kind of goes straight, then has a turn to the right, then a turn to the left... we got lost in the dark and didn't manage to cross the river); the local lovers' square (2 couples spending their evening time next to a cathedral or smth); open-air toilets (sorry for the indecent misuse of one empty construction site), etc...

As you probably can feel from above, the cities were not the backbone of the excursion for me :) The main attraction of the trip was the cool people, the curvy up-and-down mountain roads, the lunch next to a river, and the driving into the sunset while listening to Estonian and Latvian music!!

Although the cities weren't my favourites, we still have VERY funny memories from Ávila, for example. CLICK ON THE LINK TO CHECK OUT THE VIDEO OF THE "Traffic light people"!
