some random photos I took in sol last week. In the old part of town all the street signs are these big painted tiles and a lot of the streets are named for what they used to sell there...here is the 'knife seller' street and the 'salt' street.
this one's for you dad...the famous chocolateria 'San Gines'...even has a big neon arrow pointing the way down the dark alley towards temptation (good thing it's next to a great big cathedral)
speaking of cathedrals...I still haven't gotten used to the sight of nuns in habits...these are of the 'barefoot' variety which nowadays seems to mean 'in birkenstocks or teva sandals'
this is one of the 'cows' they have around town...you might have something like it where you live, artists paint and decorate them and then after a month out on the streets they auction them off for charity...i'll translate that spanish for you, it says 'no hunger' haha just kidding, it's funny to me when and how they use english here. one of my favorite examples right now is a fast food chain called (in english) "fast good" maybe if you visit we can eat at the 'fast good' eh?
