on the way we passed the largest catholic church in sagunto. which of course, like most old buildings in spain, had pretty cool architecture.
after giving us a short lecture on the history of the castle (basically it was built around first century A.D. and then destroyed/rebuilt several times), we wandered around and took pics of its coolness and the coolness of the surrounding view. like the following:
and this:
i was contemplating climbing up to the top of this section: 
but wasn't sure how safe it would be. but then one of the guys did it and didn't die so i decided to also. it was a little amusing how a bunch of the other girls were telling me not to do it and that i would probably get hurt. all in all it actually wasn't bad in the least bit and here i am at the top:
after wandering around for half an hour (not nearly enough time; some afternoon some friends and i are going back for more), we went down to see a restored roman theater that they still use today in august for plays and concerts.
after that we went back down to the historic business district where there was a open-air market going on. apparently they have it every wednesday morning till 1:30p. which is a bummer cause i have class till then. but they have all sorts of fruits, vegetables, clothes, shoes, and accessories for sale out on the street.
and that's all for the trip to sagunto. later will be an update on the annual school campout to alcossebre.

wow! I want to explore a castle! I bet you are have so much fun!
you can skip classes and go to the market as long as you talk to the teachers first and tell them its a 'cultural experience'. jenica did it. they might make you journal about it tho.
