Peas in a pod

Beso grande from Salamanca!



Universidad Salamanca has got to be the most beautiful university in the world. Romanesque columns and façades still fresh with a million engravings, none identical to the other. I think if I went to school here, I would voluntarily go to all my classes and sit in a corner just behind the Cathedral Vieja staring like an idiot at my beautiful beautiful school.

Tomorrow we go to Porto. And it will be 9 days before we land on Spanish soil again, but I already am feeling that familiar tug in my heart at having to leave Salamanca. Perhaps it´s largely due to the fact that this university town reminds me of Leuven more than any other town I've visited so far.

And that only reminds me about how much I don't want to leave Leuven. My little Leuven. Mine.
