We took a day trip to two cities called Caceres and Trujillo. I honestly did not like Caceres much at all, nor did the whole group of us. We walked through part of the city to see the cathedral briefly before mass started, then we walked to another sight, but it was closed. Nearly everything over here is closed on Sundays, so we cannot figure out why they chose to take us. Their main plaza was all under construction and there just wasn't much to do at all. We walked the streets for a while, but there were no shops to browse or anything. Also, there were tiny black bugs all over the place. Everyone was swiping them off eachother the whole day. Thankfully, the weather was a bright spot on our trip since we have seen so much rain and cold weather in the last week, so we at least got some ice cream and sat outside and enjoyed the sunshine.
Next we went to Trujillo. This was better than Caceres, but still not great since everything was still closed. We weren't here as long as the first city, so we mainly enjoyed the beautiful sights from the top of the city. One of the museums we were supposed to see opened up a little bit later, so we got to walk through a replica of the house of Pizarro.
We have a four day week coming up since we leave for Portugal Friday morning! I am very excited for this weekend trip. We will be going to Lisbon, the capital, and I have heard wonderful things.
