This picture was taken at midnight last night in La Plaza Mayor of Salamanca, a city of 150,000 people. Granted the Spanish take their vacations in August so there are a lot of visitors here. But, there were thousands of people in this square. The Spanish just love the cafe life! It is a fact that there are more cafés per capita here than any other country in Europe.
There is an enormous pedestrian-only zone surrounding the old university...very beautiful sandstone construction mostly dating from the 16th to 18th century.
I bought a SIM card for my IPad and have used it to Skype Gina on her cell phone..by far the cheapest way to call from anywhere. Unfortunately the phone store didn't have the nano SIM I need for my cell phone. I'm going to a different store tomorrow morning before I head across the border. The small village I'll be living in won't have a phone store with nano SIM chips...I'm hoping it has a cafe!
