This morning, we ate breakfast (toast and churros y chocolate) then bid a fond farewell to Kathy, Adrianne, Mom & Dad as they left for the train station, bound for Granada.
Dick, Richard and I walked through barrio Santa Cruz to the casa de Pilatos. We spent our entire visit trying to locate the bust of the young male lover of Emperor Hadrian, (it was described in our tour book), but alas, we never found it.
Casa de Pilatos
We had a nice, and small (for Spanish standards) lunch consisting of paella, sauteed mushrooms and boquerones (small, fried fish).
After lunch, we walked around a bit more, waiting for the things to open after siesta. We made our way to the Hospital de Venerables. (it used to be a home for old priests, but is now used as a cultural center).
The weather has cooled off considerably since we first arrived on Sunday. We believe that it was in the high 90s on Sunday and Monday, but yesterday and especially today have probably been in the upper 70s, which is just perfect.
Tomorrow, we take the AVE back to Madrid :)
Almost forgot!! Yesterday, on the way back from the Internet cafe, where we had just posted yesterday´s blog entry, we saw a group of archeologists unearthing a HUMAN SKELETON!!! In the MIDDLE OF THE STREET!!! They are constructing an underground metro, and, apparently, they keep finding stuff, like pottery and human remains.
Unearthing a human skeleton!
Sweet.
