Mérida, Spain


















I know what you're thinking.
I slipped of to see ancient Rome and didn't tell anyone.

Amazingly, no.

These pictures were taken in a small town in western Spain called Mérida.
It's unbelievable. I don't know how it is possible.
Every city that I see seems to somehow be more incredible than the last.
I don't know how it can keep getting better!
This town is FULL of ancient relics in various stages of preservation.

Here you can see images of the theater, amphitheater, Temple of Diana, aqueducts, and various other projects that are still being excavated.


I think, to my shock and amazement, that this Roman theater even tops Plaza España on my list of amazing things to see. I was completely in awe.
