I woke up to a bright, crisp sunny day, perfect for a morning stroll through a Spanish Costs Verde city just like Gijón.
Let's see what we came upon during today's adventure.
Of course there is a Native American
themed pub in Gijón
A Celtic one too
The harbor was quiet
Reflections
Old crest on the Palacio Revillagigedo
This palacio was built in 1704 as the residence of the First Marquis of San Esteban del Mar.
The Ode to Sidra glistening
in the early morning Sun
The Capilla de San Juan Batista
erected in 1699
Same Capilla, different side
A college for attorneys
Interesting mirror
I was headed up to the oldest part of the city known as the Cimavilla.
It was a colorful walk
I have always liked this bright
colored goop that Europeans slop
onto walls of remaining buildings
when another adjoining one is razed
Sharp looking homestead
The local Red Cross Headquarters
The rugged Costa Verde
Gull on a natural perch
The Bay of Bicay was calm this morning
good spot for cannons at one time
Part of that old artillery battery
Old walls for sure
Elogio del Horizonte
This 1990 creation by artist Eduardo Chillida represents the horizon putting its arms around this oldest and founding part of the city.
Just a beautiful day to be alive
More colorful buildings
Back to the Iglesia de San Pedro
It was closed a few days ago when I first passed by but it is a Sunday, the doors were open and I entered.
Nice looking doors
San Pedro himself
This church is another good one
It even has a sarcophagus
Beautiful Mosaic
Old looking pillars but this
church only dates back to 1954 A.D.
In a passageway behind
the main altar
I liked this modern crucifix
San Pedro, yet again
"On this rock, I will build my church."
People strolling on the
Playa de San Lorenzo
The Camino de Santiago
continues this way . . .
. . . through Gijón's Plaza Mayor
A street fair in the Plaza Mayor
I may have bought some sweets
from her, I mean it is possible
The produce looked good
A sidra server statue overlooking
the Plaza Mayor
I could not resist buying a package
of the spicy chorizo after eating
one of their samples
I like arcades
This old edifice is now the
Museo Barjola that displays art
Back to the old homestead . . .
of laundry of my stay in Gijón
The Mariners posted lots of photos today from yesterday's Coslada Camioneros game.
One tough LB
A tough DE
DE and Team Captain
Tackling this Western Colorado RB
was problematic
The LOS on a Camioneros Punt
This first time Senior Wide Receiver
had a GREAT day!
The Line of Scrimmage with
the Mariners on Offense
Diving won't get it done against
this Running Back . . .
. . . but swarming can
That might just be holding,
not sure
Channeling my inner Paul Sabolić
while making a game time adjustment
that worked
Bodies everywhere
Celebrate Good Times!
It's nasty in the Pit
Third and Short, let the fun begin
He's loose again
Most of my afternoon and evening
was spent breaking down the
Camioneros game video on our
HUDL platform
The last Serie A game of the
weekend was played today
In an Eastern Conference game, the Terrassa Reds (1-0) beat the Barcelona Pagessos (0-1), 21-0.

State by state backers in the

Posted by an unbiased Notre Dame underground alumnus, I'm sure.
Finally, the Rams will play the
Vikings in Arizona on Monday night
in a Wild Card game
It was another good and quite busy day.
