The book "The Definitive Guide to the Da Vinci Code" claims that in the past there was a myth that pelicans who were not able to find food for their chicks would tear the flesh from their own bodies to feed them. This, of course, became a symbol of Christian self-sacrifice, and that's why there's a sculpture of a pelican over the sacristy of the church. It was surprisingly easy to find. I realize that this was a modest sightseeing goal for the day, but we can't take a chance on having a relapse.
We ate at a restaurant claiming to make "traditional cuisine." This is not an unusual claim. I would guess that about 25% of restaurants make the same claim. At any rate, my traditional cuisine was hazelnut encrusted cod served with polenta, while Bill had salmon and perch with a creamy pepper sauce and vegetables.
Today's bread store was unusually attractive. Notice that the farmworkers pictured in the side windows are wearing wooden clogs.
