Today we had the day off in Logroño. That being the case, we all took advantage of our extra time to sleep in. That was awesome. After another delicious breakfast, most of us enjoyed another small nap. Yes, I know, it sounds like all we did so far was eat and sleep. BUT, once all of us were awake and ready to conquer the day we all set out for the town. I still don't understand how we navigated the city, but thankfully Abby has a wonderful sense of direction to guide us through the streets. We successfully found the Mercado de Abastos, a charming market throughout the street. The produce there was absolutely stunning. Here is a picture for you to indulge in the beautiful colors of the lunch we shared...
We ate our lunch at the fountain in the middle of a plaza, right between a little rose garden and an ampitheatre. (See above photo) Definitely a great place to enjoy the sun. I still cannot believe how many parks and plazas there are throughout the city, such lovely places to stroll and enjoy a peaceful moment. Also, because these parks are nice places to push strollers carrying little young humans, we have seen many babies, no complaining here. So cute!
We took a bus to Santo Domingo and toured the Cathedral Santo Domingo de la Calzada and walked through the museum. It is an amazing experience to walk through this space that carries so much meaning for both the town and the pilgrimage. Being in these spaces that are so old and so well-preserved have allowed me to reflect on the values of them in these communities and my own values as well. I feel blessed that we have the opportunity to experience them while on our journey.
Now, we are off to find a yummy restaurant for dinner in Santo Domingo. Until next time!
