What are men to rocks and mountains?

Waking up for a 8 am bus on a Saturday morning seemed like an awful idea as I opened my eyes after only 4 hours of sleep. But it was totally worth it. After a 2 hour bus ride, we arrived in Ronda, Spain AKA one of the most beautiful cities I have laid my eyes on. I stood on a balcony overlooking what seemed like an endless amount of open space and mountains. It reminded me of a quote I once heard, "What are men to rocks and mountains?" As I looked at this vast scenery (and took a million pictures) I reflected on this quote and it changed my perspective on the beauty of nature. We are all so small compared to the mountains and there is so much left to explore in the world.

Next, we went to the Bullfighting Museum at the oldest ring in Spain. I did not know much about the tradition, but I loved learning about the history and being able to explore the ring. Although I do not exactly agree with the practice, learning about the culture was very interesting. It is important in life to understand other cultures and to keep an open mind with different types of people.

To end the day, we ate at a restaurant called Don Miguel where we sat on the edge of a cliff enjoying a glass of sangria with a view. I can't begin to imagine the beauty of the next cities we are going to see (Seville, Cordoba, Barcelona...) after exploring Ronda. I've been to the Caribbean and seen the gorgeous beaches, but I have never seen anything like I am seeing in Spain.
