Day 94

This morning we ate pancakes and bacon. We cleaned the house, did a few loads of laundry and we let the kids watch too many movies.

After lunch I may have fallen asleep for an hour. I have not been sleeping well, it’s been a little stressful over here being cooped up. I think about a scene from the tv show Parks and Rec.

When I woke up from my nap, we went on a walk. The city is full of tunnels and walk ways, the first few photos are of us at a tunnel pedestrians use to avoid crossing the highway.

Further up the road you could see a shrine on the top of the hill that I have no clue how to get to.

A few hundred feet past the tunnels above is a huge building with supports, built in the 16th century. It once held an enormous water wheel that connected to a river. It was built before our country was founded. It’s amazing that there are buildings all over the place this old and this unprotected.

The city we live in has various neighborhoods, the neighborhood where we live is named from this enormous building. Translated from Spanish it literally means “high Ferris wheel”.

Here is a photo of the historical plaque that explains what it means. I apologize for writing my tag on it beforehand, I should have put it on after I took the photo.

We walked a little further and took photos of this building.

We walked a few more feet and I took a photo of the family with a mining statue in the middle of a turn about. **
