DAY 10
September 23
Part 1
I woke in worse shape than when I went to bed. A contracture, in
my back and neck, made me walk slow...and I could not turn my
neck to the left. Oh, boy... somehow, I needed to get better.
Pepe and I had talked about going back to Brunete, and maybe some
other town to see were we would settle once I moved back to Spain.
Today, we needed to keep our minds busy. Therfore, I tried stretching
slowly, then... took an envelope of "Espidifen", a granulated form of
Ibuprofen, that tastes like S**t...but works wonders, and Mayra gave
me an ointment that Raul uses when his back hurts.
After a couple of hours, I was able to move freely, except for my neck.
Alberto, was back from school, and we decided it would be nice to take
him with us to Brunete. He was happy to come along with us in our search.
Let´s take a walk, Alberto! Your Yayos lived in this town from 1998 to 1999.
When we left...we moved to Georgia. Your mommy was only 18, your uncle Chris
16, and "tata" Sandra 12.
First the park...it´s right down this street. We came here every afternoon.
Look what a pretty gazebo. Let´s check it out!
If we keep walking down this same street...you will ge to the main Plaza.
We crossed the street. Alberto spotted another park, but.. this one with a
large playground. Pepe rested while Alberto played.
DEJA VU....LIKE I HAVE LIVED THIS BEFORE.....OH, YEAH!!!! WITH MY SON
CHRIS.....LOL!!!!
Here is a typical round about....Spain is full of them. It saves energy..
no traffic lights!
Now, we have crossed the street and we are almost there....
Hmmmm....the town´s festivities must have been recent. See all those flags?
I love it....
love it...
Awesome....but, we have to take a closer look at the fountain.
Simple and beautiful...
We went trhough an arch in the plaza to visit the adjecent church,
Nuestra Sra. de la Asuncion, where we attended.
This is the back wall of the church....Why do I love these walls so much?
This is right side of the church, as you stand behind it.
On this side ...just one small stained glass window with Jesus on the Cross.
