San Agustinillo- Turtle Release & Great Sunset
These two pictures were taken on the same day. We did this on a place called "ventanilla" its like an eco-place. You gave kind of a tip (could be $.50) and they gave you a baby turtle then you put it on the sand and its amazing how instinct works, they knew they had to go to the water like something you have to do. Then we stayed there until the sun went completely down.

San Agustinillo series- Green allowed
Leon´s Cathedral
This is Leon´s Cathedral. Its an impressive building, the design is a bit unknown and is not seen in a lot of famous cathedrals. It has a gotic design. This design gives a lot of detail to it as you can see on the picture of the top. The stone of what is made is made of kind of ash so little by little is getting damaged. On summer you can get great shots of this city (just as most of Europe). The picture that I uploaded yesterday is the big circle on the middle. That is what practically gives the whole illumination to the cathedral. The place where it stands is a very good place to sit and admire with tapa bars around. Near there is the Barrio Humedo which is also the place to go to dinner and leon´s nightlife.

San Agustinillo series: Illegal shark fishing
Place of the week: Leon, Spain
I'm starting with this section in which ill try to introduce you a place that is not very known like capitals or places with important landmarks. Well this week is going to be Leon that is on northern Spain. This city is where most part of my Spanish family come from. Its a small city with a population of no more than 140,000 inhabitants. When I go with my friends there and I tell them that I live in a city of 3,000,000 people they really get freaked out they just cant believe it. The province is called Castilla and Leon and well obviously the capital city is Leon. As main landmarks there is the cathedral that is a truly work of art. For surprise of some people there is a building that is called "casa de los botones" house of buttons in english. That building was designed by Gaudi the same architect that designed the "sagrada familia" in Barcelona. Ill upload some pictures of the landmarks,most of them will be taken by me. Its a great city to explore. Ill also talk about the region, most people in Leon come from smaller villages so every holiday (except for winter because of the snow) the city goes empty. In the summer there is a great weather and party. Hope you enjoy this section and also any comments will be accepted.
