It's been a while... Let's see if I can remember anything at all. After touring the palace, we ate our picnics (which was very large in my case... Another example of Enrique thinking I don't eat enough or something. He packed two full sandwiches (together, a full loaf of bread), two bananas, about 10 cookies, 2 orange juices, and a Coke. Enough to feed several people for several days, basically). It was one of those very surreal moments, eating my ham (what else?) sandwich next to the giant cathedral and soaking in the sunshine. This place has completely screwed up my concept of seasons. Once in a while, I stop and remind myself: this is February. Why am I taking off my coat? Where did this sun come from? Where's the snow? Very befuddling questions.
This was more or less the view from where I was sitting.
This one includes a little more of the cathedral. It's pretty darn massive.
Somewhere in there, I tried, and failed, to outsmart the ATM into giving me smaller bills. They've been giving me 20 and 50 euro bills, which are very inconvenient when you are trying to pay for 2 or 3 euro drinks, pastries, etc.
My thought process went something like this:
"If I ask for 40 euros, then I will end up with two 20 euro bills, but what I really want is a 10 euro bill, so if I ask for 50, then I'll get one of those too! There's no way they can give me only 20 euro bills."
Ah, so smart. A genius.
Of course, I WAS right about one thing: there was no way I could only get 20 euro bills. Unfortunately, I had completely forgotten about the 50 euro ones.
There are few times in my life I have felt so stupid.
Oh, and I am out of time once again. How does this keep happening? Look forward to touring the cathedral next time. I don't think I can promise more than that.
PS. Guess who has THREE 10 euro bills in her wallet at this very moment? Yeah, that's right. Take that, stupid ATM machine.
