Meaningful Moment

Saw five of the top 10 things to do in Coca, Spain.

The bust of emperor Theodosius
The walls of the old city
The gate to the city
Ancient stone carvings
The castle

Theodosius I, also called Theodosius the Great, was born in Coca, Spain. He ruled as a Roman emperor from 379 to 395. He led in a war against the Goths. He established the creed of Nicaea as the doctrine for Christianity.
The walls of the old city. Dates from the XIII century.
The gate to the city
Stone carving of "verrascos". Ancient Iberian granite carvings of beasts. There are two outside the main gate of the town.
The castle.

Random Thought of the Day

Still in the high 90s. Today when we finished hiking, it must have been somewhere around 94 Fahrenheit. However tomorrow, according to the weather forecast, the heat wave breaks. By the time we start hiking it should be in the '60s which will be the first time since we've been here the temperature will be in the 60s. The high tomorrow is expected to be in the mid '80s.

On the Road / Notable memories

Had a lot of cloud cover today and it was greatly appreciated.

For a long stretch of road I was alternating between singing Do-Re-Mi and Flightless Bird.
