adios august

Well okay, I know it’s not over quite yet as there are still three August days to come next week… BUT I am booked to start working again Friday next (Sept 2) so this is my final “week off”.  And all I can say about that is eeeep! As most of you probably know I shut down my tours early July in an attempt to minimize risk and remain Covid-free. And so far that seems to be working.

They’re from a site called El Orden Mundial and if you’d like to see the maps enlarged then click on the links below.

There are about 6-8 guys repaving the road next to Encarnación Market, l suppose all the way down to Plaza del Duque, as the existing stones have buckled and are uneven. Backbreaking work at any time but out in full sun when it’s 42°??? WTF? It’s been painful seeing them out there these past days. I waited until they were away on a lunch break to get a photo. After two street sweepers died from heat stroke in Madrid how can this be allowed?
