I'll see you under the clock tower in the Plaza Mayor

The main square in Salamanca is pretty impressive. Salamanca is full of students from all over the planet. I was waiting for Maggie, under the clock stamping my feet to keep my circulation going on this wet and miserable day when I realised that I was taking part in a ritual common to Salmantinos and visitors alike that must have gone on for hundreds of years - well since the square was built in 1729 at least.

Ahh, the continuity of it all.
