We
were able to sleep in today, which was very welcome. At 11 we walked into the
city centre so Patsy and I could climb the stairs to the top of one of the bell
towers of the Pontificia (Catholic University).
From here we were able to get an excellent view of the city.
After this
we returned to the Plaza Mayor to watch and listen to the Salamanca Municipal
band while having a refreshment. Then it was back to Olga’s for a late lunch, and
later that afternoon we headed out again, this time to Maria Jesus and
Licesio’s, some of Philip’s friends from the time he spent here as a teacher.
We talked politics and particularly about the ‘Crisis’. It seems to be the resounding
opinion that Spain’s current financial situation is pretty dire. We had a nice
selection of nibbles.
