No class today so time to explore! I get lost easily but following a river is usually a safe bet. The French have a great word to describe mindless wandering, “flâner“; without doubt one of my favorite things to do.
The River Tormes runs through Salamanca and is filled with history, islands and wildlife. Come with me for a stroll.

Waited for the little man to turn green, (he runs faster when light is about to change).
