Assembled the bike, saw the town

    8:00 and there was light.  Assembled the bike and cruised town; what a beautiful place. A big marathon had the streets closed for a day which made for riding down the center of the central avenues.  Checked in out and the cathedral along with all the surrounding side streets, this place is ancient.  Stopped for a casual lunch at a nice outdoor restaurant. The weather was perfect. A little red win, goat cheese salad followed by a crawfish dish which dazzled my plebeian taste buds.  Home for a much needed two hour nap followed by the free dinner at the hostel. The evening activities commence around 20:00 but I am adjusting.  A dozen of us traversed the narrow cobblestone road to see a flamenco show.  The beer and sangria flowed but I used restraint knowing a three hour city walking tour awaits me tomorrow, followed by some Roman ruins.  With rain forecast, I am hanging out another day.  Riding in the rain is a drag, anyways.
