today took us on a little road trip to some small towns about an hour out of barcelona. the first stop was a medieval village called girona. there, we broke into our smaller on assignment groups and went on photo excursions. high points included the cobblestone streets and the gorgeous river that ran alongside the town. next up was besalu. we had an amazing lunch there and had lots of time to wander around and take pictures of the town and spectacular stone bridge that framed the river and the lush landscape of hilltop houses. on the way to the bus we all got distracted by a field of sunflowers and stopped for a while longer to gush photographically over them. we finished with a swim in the lake near a town called banyoles, where there were plenty of reeds and ducks near the shore but the water further out was calm and gorgeous (if not a little seaweed-y). we finished with a delicious dinner there and piled back onto the bus to the residencia.

the bridge in girona reflected geometrically on the water.

while taking pictures of the cathedral in besalu, these sparrows flew by at the perfect time.

did i mention i'm in love with geometrical bridges?

sunflowers contrasted against the blue-green spanish hills.

a tiny perfect lakehouse nestled on the shore.
