Cooling Off

Catherine Jarvis sends more pictures: 

Nothing like getting naked and cooling off in the local fountain. Nobody told us to get out. In fact there was nobody there. They were all inside enjoying their ac as the temperature hit 41 degrees.
Went to see the Roman ruins in Elvira.
Arrived at 10:30 am and it was already over 35 degrees.
Woah!
Saw tons of shop selling cork items. They harvest cork nearby. Check out the cork purses.
Bought a cork nativity set.
Spent 18 euros on calliopo today. They are the Portuguese equivalent of Popsicles.
That was 3 popsicles each over the course of the day.
Add to that 3 bottles of water each.
Still came home with several dehydrated kids
.
Last monument we visited was this Chapel of Bones.
Nothing like a somber reminder of your mortality when going to church.
Cloister at the Cathedral. Rebecca and Hebe keeping cool in the shade.
