Random Street Scenes....

It's raining today....  cold, wet and overcast....
We finally went out around 3pm to see what was going on in the city.

Actually, I did go to Iglesio San Jacinto for 10:00 mass this morning...

This is a huge church... and quite elaborate 

This was the 4th week I've gone to early mass and there are only about 30 parishioners each week.  But then, people here stay up half the night, so those that do attend probably go later.

The rest of today's photos will be from yesterday 

You know how I love those photos that show the rooftops...

This church isn't the huge cathedral, but isn't the top of it lovely?  All that tile and fancy work?

The doors here are often huge, massive wooden doors

Often they will have those rivet-looking things all over.  
You just know that if you were to walk inside the ceilings would be 10' high!

When's the last time you saw a nun wearing a habit?

These two nuns were waiting for their ride outside Corte Ingles yesterday.
I have no idea what order they belong to...  

Another statue outside the Bull Ring..

We often walk along the same streets, but are continually spotting something new.
Of course "it"s been there for years (sometimes centuries), but it's such fun to come across these statues, monuments, little parks, or....  whatever that we haven't seen before.


Another Street Performer....

Nah...  he isn't a guru levitating on his own....
That blue post has another section that goes into his sleeve...  down his back, and it has a little seat for him to sit on.  Of course everyone does a double take the first time they see him...
And...  he does sit perfectly still.

 It always pays to look up - sometimes the sights up on the buildings are quite pleasant to see...

Like these geraniums....
Aren't they a bright spot of color?
I never see any fake flowers here.  It's all the real thing!

We came across a tiny little park - actually, more like a tiny plaza - just down the street from us...

It had this "mini" gym...  along with instructions on how to use the equipment.  I assumed they were for runner to use to warm up, but was told that the city put them in in various places in town to encourage the elderly to exercise.  Well...  now...  didn't THAT make me feel guilty because I didn't put them to use!  

Of course I saved my favorite until last...

My Favorite Entrepreneur...

For the life of me I can't think of who he's dressed as today...

Little Miss Muffett came to mind...

If anyone comes up with the answer, please let me know.

After all...  this guy must work hard to entertain his favorite corner folks.

Hope y'all had a great weekend and it's NOT raining where you are.

That's All For Today!
