Avila to The North coast

The First Stake formation in the Bilboa mission is tomorrow so we made our way to the north coast(near Bilboa). What a great drive. We started in the plains (which reminds of of Filmore Utah without the mountains), and drove into the mountains of the North. It was a very cool drive with many villages with very big churches in the middle and several castles. You go around a corner and there was a castle on top of a little hill. The Mountains were very green a beautiful.

When we were looking for our hotel we saw a sign to a castle. We couldn't see the castle but followed the signs. The road ended so we started hiking. at the top of a hill the was the ruins of a castle which dated from 800 to 1100 A.D. it wasn't to look at but was cool to think about how different there life was than ours. The Gospel wasn't on the earth and wasn't going to be for another thousand years.

Side note, We booked our hotel using our Aircard and the computer. When we got there the elderly lady that ran the place told us she didn't have the reservation. When I asked her to call expedia she suddenly found the reservation. Then she said we had to have a paper copy. She had had a paper copy, but she said she needed ours. We decided she didn't really want us to stay there so we told her to cancel it. She wouldn't but she wouldn't let us stay there either. She wanted our money but didn't want us. We left and will cancel the charge, her loss. She doesn't get us or our money.
