Greg, in his Internet wisdom, found a really awesome site where one can book a room at a historic site. For our anniversary, We stayed in a castle in the town of Avila. Any Catholic knows that this is the birthplace of St. Theresa, the Little Flower. I didn't know; however, that Avila is surrounded by a huge wall. The highest city in Spain, Avila is a relaxing and beautiful place.
After checking in, Greg and I went to St. Theresa's Convent which was built on the site of her birthplace. It was a really nice visit. We got postcards for our parents.
Afterwards, we walked around a little. I couldn't tell if the city was empty because shops close early or if everyone was on vacation. Regardless, we stopped in a neat little shop that had piles of men's and women's hats, all kinds of leather goods, lighters, and swords. I almost bought a hat... almost. Lastly, we ate dinner outside at the hotel restaurant, which was affordable and tasty.
