Lorca

Yesterday was a holiday for university students, so a few friends that I have met through ISEP and I took full advantage and took a daytrip to Lorca.  Lorca is a little smaller than the city of Murcia but is still in the region (like a state) of Murcia.  It was so pretty! We had to wake up rather early to catch the 6:45 bus, but it was well worth it!  I would like you all to know that I climbed not one but TWO mountains while I was there.  One had a church on top, and the other had a castle: both of them had spectacular views of the city below.  We also went to an archeology museum with some artifacts that had been discovered there; some of them dated back to Roman rule! One of the best parts of the trip was that the whole day cost me less than 20 Euros including food and transportation.  This daytrip was such a success that I cannot wait to plan the next one!

Side note: I have widened my repertoire of recipes.  I successfully cooked some chicken filets and made chicken salad.  I also used some to put on green salad.  This morning I made an omelet with onions and tomatoes. (Yes, I bought a tomato.  I don’t know why, but it looked so delicious in the market that I bought one.  It was actually decent!)  The price of produce is encouraging me to eat fresh food; it’s a win-win situation!
