The end of the walk and a cooling drink

We walked through Plaza de Bolívar, a leafy and shaded square surrounded by some of the city's most elegant balconied colonial buildings which are impossible to photograph because of the trees! 😀

Our tour ended at the Church of San Pedro Claver, built between 1580 and 1654 in the Spanish Colonial style.  The remains of San Pedro himself are on display behind glass at the base of the altar.  Interestingly, On May 7, 2022, the church formally dedicated a new mausoleum. The structure is 2 storeys and occupies a space behind the resting place of the saint.  The mausoleum was paid for by philanthropist Dr. Jaime Rodriguez Torres and Miami Investor Burt Connelly.

After saying our goodbyes to Artur, we went to a bar for a welcome drink.  We then moved to a sports bar a couple of doors down and spent the rest of the afternoon watching the US Grand Prix!  Bizarrely, we were sitting outside watching a TV through a window 😂🤣.

When the race finished, we wandered back to our part of town and returned to Amasa for dinner.  Today, I had a delicious chicken salad bowl, and Mark had a chicken sandwich on toasted sourdough.Read more
