New Year´s Eve in Leon: final part

On January first we awake when we wanted. We had for breakfast the great tiramisu done by Pochola.

For lunch Montse made her delicious Escudella, she even had the nice detail of doing it with alphabet soup! :D Pochola done a magnific Fillet Wellington and also leftovers of the dinner. (We had turkey for the whole weekend!).

After lunching, David, Susanna, Curro and I went to walk a bit around Leon´s City Center, the rest stayed at home playing.

The day before David and Susanna had a “tour” with their friend at the City Center as well, so they were our guides! :P here part of the beauties we saw in our tour:



Royal Collegiate Church of St Isidore of Seville, León:





The Cathedral:



We went to drink something to warm us into the pub "Big John´s Jazz Club" that has the specialty of playing just jazz music of the 40´s to the 70´s.




After that we continue with our tour:

The Bethelem:



Where we also did the “asking for a wish ritual”







The Leon´s raised-relief map:



We were a while watching the audiovisual presentation that Caja de España played at Botines, a Gaudi house:







We went trough the Xmas market and turned back to the flat… where we found Montse, Gloria, Pochola and Topo locked in! And not… it wasn´t a punishment due the night before! (or well, I really don´t know… you see, the last one locking the door was Patxi!) ;P He said the point was that we should lock the door or it opens so easily, so, when he went out, he just forgot nobody of them had a key as well! :D

We played a bit, take the dinner (a salad done with the leftovers, a great Spanish omelet done by Patxi and pantumaca done a bit by all of us) some of us went to sleep a bit early… we had a tourney the next day!
