Feeling holy

A beautiful day had us out walking to the nearby Iglesias San Salvador to get tickets to it and the Cathedral. While the Iglesias was interesting with its Roccoco alter pieces, we were most excited by skipping the long line to walk straight into the Cathedral.
What a wonderful site this huge church was, with epic proportions and the tomb/edifice of Christopher Columbus taking an important corner. The size of the four organs led me to wish for a rendition of “ Funeral for a Friend” or similar.
Somehow I found the energy to climb the endless ramps to get to the top of the Giralda Tower before meeting the others. Proved my recovery.
Lunch was a bit of a disaster in a tourist trap near the Cathedral before I had to grab a taxi to collect our hire car at the main station. Al and maps.me were my guides back to the Plaza.
Dinner was at home as I took over Sandy’s intended meal with Gail’s help. Best meal of the day.
Nice evening at home.
