After the Festival! (short post)


That day, we woke up super late, at like 11:00. We packed up and moved to a new hotel called Monte Sinai, which was closer to the waterfront. After we did that, it was time for lunch. We went to a place just down the street from our hotel. It was a cool tent-type thing. 

In the middle of our lunch, a child with an accordion started playing for people and asking for money. He came all the way across the restaurant to us, and we gave him a Euro and took a picture. 

After a few hours of staying in our hotel (we were still really tired from the festival last night), Victormama and I went out for a walk and we went down to the river, and I took a picture. 

With all of the moving around going on, there are signs everywhere that are welcoming everyone who is being excluded because of religion or politics.


There are a lot of houses on the hill going down to the river, and I got a glimpse of yet another bridge. 

We decided to go up onto the bridge made by Gustavo Eiffel, and so we had to climb up a bunch of hills to get there. On one of the inclines, there was a wall with some graffiti on it. I took a picture of an alien.

On the top there was a cathedral, and a statue of a man on a horse holding a spear. Each town only has one cathedral in it. 




  The cathedral was on a ledge near the water so I took a picture with a hammer.

 On the way back to the hotel, on the other side of the river, Victormama wanted to see when the wine tours of Sandeman and other Port winemakers was going on. And on the door to the Sandeman Port Co., was a timeline and markers of the floods from when the river rose up.

After crossing the bridge, there was a guy singing and playing guitar. 

 Near a restaurant, there was a band playing.
