Leon Day 4

It was a short night with a lot of noise. I forget my earplugs and had to get up and find them.

Last night's Easter Procession, the procession of pain (Mary holding the crucified Jesus on a large float) was canceled due to rain. The floats have hand carved statues that are hundreds of years old, and the costumes of the processioners are quite elaborate, so rain could do a lot of damage.

Still, Phil and I waited faithfully with thousands of others until the decision was announced online. I could see) the beginning of the procession streaming on my phone, and they did start out, but it was canceled before they reached our location.

There's another procession tonight, and it will go through our plaza if it is not canceled. It has been raining all day. We even bought umbrellas for the waiting.

I have slept a lot today. We made a couple of trips out. One to a department store and the other to get a midafternoon coffee and pastry.Weiterlesen
