Fun in Oviedo

This was a great day with visits to the pre-Romanesque churches (900s!!!) I love them so much. After visiting both the Naranco sites and San Julian de los Prados, Helena and I had a great lunch in the old part of town. Things are really changing in staid old traditional Oviedo when you can get a poke bowl for lunch!

We had so much to catch up on since it had been three years since we last saw each other. We wound up staying up much later than was sensible for someone starting to walk the next day, since I think it was after 1130 when I got to my room.

We also met up with a Forum member from Maine who decided to stop walking in Oviedo because the Salvador had done him in. We had a nice long chat, while sitting in the main square with the Cathedral in the background. He also gave me a Covid test kit that I can use to prove my Covid free status before coming back to the US.

Here’s hoping it won’t be three more years till I see Helena again!Read more
