Phase III – Merida to Caceres

17 May

Today’s Caminho Song

Featuring Danny & The Champions of the World @ Cropredy.

Sunday 18 th May

When you see the photos, you will know why I felt inspired to choose Simon & Garfunkel’s Song,” Bookends”

Hope you don’t find it ” stultifying” !!

E-Mail, from Dermot:-

Roger and I read your update re GH and blood thinners. Hope the treatment is effective very soon.
At the moment we are both reading our respective Kindle apps in our Hotel in Merida.
Merida is an interesting place, full of Roman artefacts and museums.
But sadly not many supermercados.
Nevertheless, as scout, I managed to find a small one for essential supplies of cheese, fruit, bread and wine.
I was told that it will be closed manana but that there is another one which will be open.
Opposite the museum. Naturally. Where else?
Roger’s foot blisters are still in recovery.
We watched much of Barcelona v Atletico Madrid match.
Roger enjoys the description of soccer that I once heard:
“the stultifying opiate of the unthinking classes”
This, of course, does not apply to the Twort household! [Roger told me to say that!]
Attached photos of bookends
Cheers
Derm

Us Opiate viewers enjoyed the Cup Final, but not the result!

PS from Derm! After I told him about my self-administered injections –
You should “shoot up” in Birmingham city centre. Your street cred would go up by leaps and bounds. Tell them you got the habit from Will Self.

Derm would never forgive me if I forgot to include the the ubiquitous
St. Eulalia of Merida.
