After school today I went to Jerez de la Frontera with Ana, one of the teachers I've become friends with. She lives there, and kindly invited my to visit...and in return, I just had to promise to speak English with her. Seemed like a great deal to me! :) Jerez is a beautiful little town. It reminded me a lot of Sevilla, just on a smaller scale. I was amazed because in the city center, many of the stores have been built in old palaces. So it would be like shopping in The Gap, but in an old palace...amazingly beautiful. There are also a lot of wineries in Jerez - or 'bodegas' as they call them here. The most famous is Tio Pepe, which is a popular label all throughout Spain. In Jerez, you can see the Tio Pepe label EVERYWHERE. Want to know who is sponsoring the upcoming flamenco show? Tio Pepe. Want to know what wine is served at this restaurant? Tio Pepe. Want to know who paid to rennovate this garden? Tio Pepe. I think you get the point... :)

The old Ayuntamiento (City Hall).
The Cathedral - incredibly beautiful.
Me with Tio Pepe. :-)
