... grotto. Nothing like a statute of the BVM with water coming out of the mountain to draw us Catholics out from every nook and cranny. The herd of goats that usually blocks Paul's entry into churches was nowhere to be found here.....so maybe it's a good sign. Don't send a Catholic jihad after me, now, just making light of a fun time!

About "the Christians getting nasty" part. This is apparently ...

... pronounced An hell), the mayor's secretary. He was very nice and showed us Pedro Menendez's swords and explained a model of the city from the 13th century. He then showed us the office of the mayor, Pilar, whom Conrad had met last February in St Augustine at the Menendez Ball. We expected lots of antiques and a large oak desk, but instead we saw lots of glass and modern design chairs. But this is ...

We are staying in a little village called Avin. We visited Cangas de Onis which is a pretty little town with an ancient bridge. We went to the seaside at Llanes and went on a cliff top walk.

Next day we went to Desfiladero de Cares. The pathway was made at the beginning of the 20th centuary by the workmen who blasted out a course for a canal to supply water for hydro-electicity for the area. The walk is from Poncedos to Cain and winds it way ...

... of the 3-pack of Canary Juice I bought the other day, and wandered over to a cafe for breakfast.

With time to kill after, I wandered around but almost everything was closed, being a Sunday. I picked up some lunch for the ride to Oviedo before walking back to the station. I'm a bit sad to be leaving La Coruna, as it was the perfect re-introduction to Spain. La Coruna is nicknamed the "Crystal City" - a reference ...

Los niños estan ansiosos por ver a Santi y Juanchi que son los hijos de mis amigos de Venezuela, Jose Roberto Aldariz ( El Negro), a ...

... the beach following a day's activity. The sand was soft, the water cool, and the atmosphere made me feel like I was in Maine rather than...Spain. Nevertheless, our hotel's style seemed to be a mix of an Alpine Village (a la Helen, Georgia) and some some of Dutch architecture. Jon and I had a nice room, which included a Towel Warmer that we were actually unable to figure out how to use it.

This is wonderful, we thought, being able to sit outside in the sun and watch the changing colours on the mountains as the sun moved across the sky. Within 24 hours the far peaks disappeared, then the intermediate ones disappeared. Occasionally in the late ...

... bustle of many Spanish cities. I spent most of the day in the three parks in the east of Pamplona. During siesta there are more seats than people. In the Parque de la Ciudadela the walls of the fortified citadel still stand. It is now the home of deer and peacocks. They remained oblivious to me as I watched tortoises and goldfish swim together with ducks and swans, sharing corners of their world peacefully, which doesn't always ...
