So many trips and adventures these days- this was just a day trip with a friend. It was a lovely walk around the city and perhaps I'll look up the names of everything once again to post the names of various buildings of interest. We bought a marvelous guia zat spokee veree gud ingrish, written by someone who beloved his citee veree much.
We also had the pleasure of being run out of a knife shop as not good enough for the knives when the owner upon telling us proudly that we could kill a pig with a certain knife, discovered that we were both vegetarians. It was no use arguing that we cut vegetables and bread all the time- he was having none of it! Sigh...
