Well, this is the easy life, or I think it should be. Mary and I have been walking around and looking at the city together and she can explain it all to me. We stayed in a supposed 4 star hotel for the first two nights but my bed had sort of a sway in its middle. We took a nap on the second day as by that time I had relaxed was tired all the time, but unfortunately when I woke up my back really hurt. The old lower back pain. I can only think that it came from the sway in the bed and the fact that I slept so soundly in one ill advised position. So, I am now spending lots of time trying to keep my back stretched out and relaxed so I can go North again in a few days. Fortunately I do think that I am making progress.
We have moved into a little 1 star hotel which is absolutely wonderful. Not only is the price much better but the whole atmosphere is quite delightful and charming. Mary heard about it from some of her class mates and immediately made some reservations for when Betsy and I were here. The beds are better also!
Salamanca is only 1.5 hours diving time from Madrid and is quite a destination for young couples from Madrid on the weekends. Boy is it crowded on S and S. Not only are all the students here but the weekenders! Still it is a wondeful town and we continually enjoy watching and listening to the storks as they come in and clack their beaks at each other in greeting. We are now going to look at the old Roman bridge and have a little picnic by the Torme river.
