Today we walked down to the ocean through the centre of the old city. About a 15 minute walk.
The street up to our place.
The street is not wet. All the sidewalks are shiny like that. They are made of small pieces of polished limestone.
At 10:45 we went on the walking tour. The guide was great and took us all through the really neat parts of the old town and had great stories as we climbed up and walked down the steep hillsides. He showed us many different types of areas including where all the kids go to buy very cheap liquor (bars), the history of many of the famous landmarks, why the buildings are made the way they are, etc.
After the three hour tour was over we found a nice sub place and shared a bite to eat. On the way back to our place we stopped at a fairly decent supermarket and picked up eggs, bread and yogurt for our very early tour tomorrow.
The tracks of the funicular that crashed killing 16 unfortunates. The hill is REALLY steep.
Back at the apartment we spent a couple of hours sleeping/relaxing before heading out again; this time walking on a nearby street that has all the high end stores on it. Funnily enough both Caro and I thought the same thing-this street is just like Reforma in Mexico City.
After a quick visit to a church that had been closed when we went by it on our tour we carried on into the narrow streets where many restaurants were located.
We picked one and sat down for seafood rice and fish. Yummy yummy!
Walking home (not raining).
A FaceTime with Pat confirmed that while Dad is slowly getting better (although nothing is assured) so with that knowledge we have decided to carry on as per schedule, to Seville Spain on Saturday.
