Our big adventure today was visiting the town of Puente Viesgo about a half hour from where we’re staying. Puente VIesgo is a beautiful little town built on a river in between some rolling hills. It’s famous for its cave paintings.. We were able to get tickets to tour two\u00a0 of the caves. Cueva\u00a0 de la\u00a0 Moenda, Cueva El\u00a0 Castillo .\u00a0
Before we hiked up to the caves we had a great lunch in a restaurant overlooking the river in town..\u00a0 \u00a0checkout gabes tounge after eating pasta with squid ink !

the town was really bustling because there was a bike race that started there this morning.. made it a little hard to drive around.. but it didn’t take away from our fun<\/p>\n

The caves ha e some painintgs by ealry humans.. soem dating back as far as 40,000 years.. and many dating back to the last ice age 13,000 years ago.. there were cave paintings\u00a0 deer, bison and many drawings of hands made by blowing pigment across a hand held to the wall. We werent allowed to take pictures in there.. but I’ll post some I can find on the web.\u00a0<\/p>\n

THe caves were very cool to see.. great guides.. the tours were in spanish which was fun for me, becky and gabe\u00a0 who all speak some\u00a0 rusty spanish\u00a0\u00a0

here are some pictures I found on the web of some of the stuff we saw
