Is it a Life Experience?

After a lonely breakfast in a deserted restaurant where we could hardly open our eyes for exhaustion we blearily said that we had to leave the hotel. "No! No! We will put you in a quiet room at the back of the hotel." Which they did. We ventured warily out............walking through the whole of the town without mishap although a motely gang of boys tailing us lifted the heartbeat a bit... everytime we came out of a shop or cafe they were waiting! Bought all sorts of things we didn't want or need to get rid of them!

One of the joys was walking to the Plaza Grande which was just around the corner from our hotel. Flash guards marched and saluted and stood guard to the Palacio del Gobierno. We also enjoyed the Plaza del Theatro with its constant entertainment of crowds of all shapes, sizes and ethnic background walking through. A bronze statue of an old man gained lots of attention as people stroked and hugged him for good luck!

The cathedral was truly incredible Huge with massive stainglass windows. Parks stretched endlessly through the middle of the city and people swarmed through arm in arm or lay out enjoying the sun.

We decided to buy some cheeses, meats, fruit and wine to eat in our room that night. In fact we could spread ourselves out as we had the whole hotel to ourselves. Somewhere in the distance the security guard and his girlfriend raved away to latin music while we ate in the cavernous silence of the empty restaurant.

Definitely leaving this hotel in the morning!
