Avila Esapania

Today I rode my bike to the Car rental to pick up a very small rental car. We drove to Avila which is about 3 hours away. They are having a mid-evil fiesta. Avila is famous as a large walled city. It is supposed to be the largest intact wall of any city in the world. It's a little over 2km around the wall. We stayed in our landlords hotel inside the city wall. I know it sounds funny but you do feel more secure inside the city wall. The streets are narrow and the buildings are old. The Fiesta was also very fun. Many people come from all around so they can wear their Mid-evil wear. It was surprising how many people really got into it. There were lot's of booths selling everything you can think of Weston's favorite booths were the ones with swords and armor.

The hotel was a restored palace and was a real treat. Pachi's company owns the hotel and our landlord is the manager of it. So we got a great deal.
