I've calmed down...Soriano, day 6!

You've seen this view...
...this is the view from the top of the fort...all tiny, 92 circular staircase steps!!!
The Lone DeRanger is a death defying kinda guy. so I did that for you mere mortals! It took 300 years to build this fort...who knows, labour strikes, war...stuff takes time I guess. Anyway, from the mid 1800's to 1989 it was a prison. They didn't show us any of the cells, except for solitary, and there wasn't enough light in there to take a photo...needless to say, NASTY!!! Here are the steps leading to the tower stairs, and the solitary cells they would show us...
There were a few odd things about this prison/fort...this is a face carved into the stone...
And this statue outside the warden's office...
Personally, I think the warden was related to Trump. We had to take the usual streets to get to the fort...
Along the way there was a church with a golden Elvis iside...
And some flowers on the outside...
While Dora created one of her masterpieces...
...I walked down into the town square, and dropped into the tourism office......oops, nobody speaks english there, sorry. At that point I thought I would introduce myself to Mr. Moretti...aaaaaaahhhh, that's more like it!
After we had dinner, we decided to go for a walk to enjoy the evening...this is part of what we saw...
...and this...
Then we went to a little pizzaria for a beer before bed...
Goodnight!

  2. At last Dora got you disentangled from your blow up friend and you found a nice view for her. I would have tied her down better than that so she wouldn't float away.
