Daily Drena: Tickets deserve Ice Cream
All morning we continue our quest to get train tickets. Yesterday’s attempts were a debacle, and also Monday’s tickets to Cuenca have sold out. We try again online through multiple avenues with no success, then go back down to the train station (a second time for Drew) and finally get real tickets in our possession for a Sunday departure, which we guard with our lives. And thus we can proceed with our day.
Semana Santa (Easter) week is starting, and in one square we come across an outdoor service for pre-Palm Sunday with palms being handed out by nuns, until they go in procession out of the square and on down the street. Also in this square is a recycled object art fair, which is right up my alley. Love seeing stuff like this!
After some tasty ice cream, we inadvertently find some little streets with art galleries and cozy coffee shops (with WiFi), and settle in for a while to enjoy the quiet.
