This woman set up her system and played for donations. My waiter seemed exasperated as she set up and later confided, ” Ella canta como mi abuela!” I gather his grandmother didn’t sing well!
While walking home I discovered a school that must have been having an end of year buffet and slide show and I was suddenly reminded of a favorite film, Cinema Paradiso.
The following morning I checked out early and headed to the
I rode directly there!! You can see the sign mid-photo on the right.
They were wonderful and one of the younger employees spoke some English and helped me unload the bike and situate it in a garage across the street. It was a funny garage with a ferry like entrance, a steep ramp down into darkness! I quickly learned where all the lights were and how short the timers were! He had me park it in a corner slot with its own steep little ramp up. I was glad to say that I took full advantage later that day when the car next to me was gone and I could turn the bike around facing the right direction to negotiate the little ramp.
Anyway, I got checked in, got a cafe con leche in the cafeteria and got ready for a day at the Alhambra. all before 9:30 am!
Loved seeing the V-Strom, the only one I saw in my travels, I might add.
