Didn’t do too much today. It was a 4 hour drive from the coast to Salamanca. A very long and boring drive! At first we were not sure what the rage about Salamanca was, but then we walked through the old town. Charlotte would love the square although with the gale force winds (worse than being on Wisconsin avenue on a windy day) you don’t want to spend much time outside. We walked to a church (they call it the new church) which was started to be built in 1512. As I looked into some of the coves, I thought of Georgia and that I definitely found a creepier place than the Scottish Rite. Although a little creepy, there were some beautiful parts as well. Walked back to the hotel and are hanging out until dinner (at 8:30 pm right around half time for you folks back home 🙂
Tomorrow it is off to a wine tour south of Salamanca and then back here to see more old stuff :-). Hopefully the wind dies down!
