Lunch at the wharf

The wharf at Peñiscola

Roman amphitheater in Tarragona
Today we left our hotel and drove to a town called...Peñiscola!?  We stayed there a couple of hours and saw a huge castle with a view and went to an outside seafood place right on the wharf that was really good.  After Peñiscola we had another two hour drive to a hotel in Tarragona. In Tarragona when we first walked in just by chance The Lord of the Rings was playing on the hotel TV so we decided to watch the rest!  Also in Tarragona we walked a long time to see the Roman ruins and I put my hand on the rocks so I can say I touched BC (Before Christ) J. We also saw part of the circuit where they used to do Chariot races. I liked it because I can say to people I touched BC (because I live in British Columbia) but I will mean something from the time BC.  After that we went to a square and I saw some kids playing soccer but for the first time in Spain they wouldn't let me play!  After the square we went to another place where they were having a festival that was packed with people celebrating. It had tons of stalls and we got some stuff including some cotton candy that our family all ate.  I also got a mood ring and my sister got a unicorn made out of clay and the family also got some roasted chestnuts wrapped in newspaper to split.  After the festival we went home and went to bed.
