November 24 - Cool Saturday

Had a bit of a slow start this morning.  Our guests had tickets to see the cathedral and did some sightseeing, so it was just Albert and I from about 11:30-7:30.  We did our usual; Spanish, shopping, reading, and cooking (Goulash and Gnocchi).

I went for a short walk this evening.  There was a large group of musicians sitting around a table drinking beer and playing guitars.  Celebrating after a gig? preparing for a gig? was this the gig?  Don't know, but they were having a good time.

Walked past a church that was having some type of post-mass social event upstairs - lots of laughing and talking and of course a few guys on the balcony enjoying a smoke.
I extended my walk a bit because there was another procession - this one going right down our street.  For Albert and our guests, it was perfect.  They had a great view from the balcony.  I on the other hand could not get down our street to get home.  Luckily it was a short procession, so it didn't take too long to clear out.
Right before heading in, I stopped off at the Chinese market.  I have filled up another notebook and needed one for class on Monday.  The people in this store are really nice and work A LOT of hours.  The oldest daughter sometimes helps in the store stocking shelves, but more often she is just outside the store taking care of one of the two younger siblings.  She is very sweet.
Our guests leave tomorrow.  It has been a quick trip, but it was really fun having them here.
