Tour of Musea
de San Juan de Dios. Very, very
good. Had an English-speaking Art
History student taking the two of us around the whole place and explaining
much. She was probably amused by my more
than average interest in it. The
building was a house of a benefactor of the man John and took him in after he
caught pneumonia helping rescue someone from drowning. The room and bed where he stayed and then
died are preserved in the museum. Many
other pieces of art and items to be seen, including the original portrait made
a few years after his death. Interesting
to learn, me having been an employee of St John of God Health Care these last
almost 20 years. A good guy and
understandable that a following grew around his example after his death.
Spent much time
trying unsuccessfully to buy a Granada Card, eventually booked a ticket to
L’Alhambra palace on the 09:00 Spanish tour!
Lucky I’d learned those five or six phrases.
More eating
out … not too successful yet finding a really good place. Local lager is refreshing and cheap. Café con leche is good – think they make it
with a double shot of good coffee and then a little milk added.
