Day in Astorga- Part 1

No photos: problem with publishing them.

We walked a short 1.7 miles to Astorga this AM. First order of business was picking up the package we sent by van yesterday to the Albergue here and mailing it to New Hampshire. The box had been delivered successfully, and we mailed it from the post office a short way down the street, found using the app "citymaps2go", which provides directions to selected places of interest.

At the post office we found signs saying "Admision Polivalent". WTF? I had to look that up. The word "polivalent" translates in my dictionary as the word used in chemistry "polyvalent", which means that it combines with multiple other elements. So the sign would seem to say that the line admits people for multiple purposes. Since the post office did both mail and western union transactions, any line could be used for either type.

We are staying at a very nice hotel, Hotel Cuidad de Astorga, near the Cathedral and other POI's. While the rooms are being prepared we are enjoying lunch in the adjoining outdoor restaurant, and concurrently indulging in the internet (Photo 1). Seems others are also "internetting" it. (Photo 2.)
