Leon Day 3

Our land lady had warned us that it could be noisy in this location and left us earplugs. In addition, you have to open the rouladen and open two windows to get to the outside. The walls are about a foot thick or more. None the less, we were surprised to open the shades last night to find a nightclub and bar right across the tiny street. People were standing outside at a table, steps away from our window! This may be a sign for the upcoming weekend. It was noisier last night than the night before.

This morning, we did a couple of loads of wash, including our bath towels, and did our morning shopping. I made some vegetable bean soup for lunch.

Afterward, we headed out to the San Isadora museum. No photos were allowed inside, but it was pretty interesting. Leon is built on a Roman foundation, and the church was originally started in the 800s and expanded in the 900s and 1000s and finally consecrated with its own bishop in the early 1100s It was, of course, built and supported by kings and queens wealth.

After the museum, we walked around a lot and then sat, and people watched at our favorite cafe for a while. Phil is resting now, and we will try to stay up and catch the first procession of the week tonight. It begins at 8 pm and will pass within a few steps of the apartment.

The forecast is calling for rain, which may complicate things. I hope it holds off.Read more
