Roman Ruins

Today's visit was to the Roman Ruins. We saw the ancient arena and learned about all of the Gladiator stuff. There is a system of tunnels underneath the arena and also a sewage and water system. We learned that the houses had running water! Although the architecture of this visit was not as complex and beautiful, it was still interesting. The downside is that it began to rain again today and our venture was full of puddles and wet gusts of wind. We cut our visit a little short, but it's a fun story. The Pictures include the sewage system and myself in a 1080 year old door way.
The rivers are flooded; we saw that the sidewalk along the river by our neighborhood is under many inches of water.
We had a fun conversation at dinner tonight with Isabel and her brother. He was asking us what we do for exercise. We said that here in Spain we walk everywhere and at home we do not play sports. I said that sometimes I go jogging for 20 or 30 minutes. Rafael says that you should run for at least an hour. I don't understand this high standard of personal fitness in light of the fact that nearly everyone in Spain smokes.
We're still really enjoying Polo the dog. We went for a walk again today.
Today was a good day.
