High Plains Drifter(s)

Contrary to common belief Clint Eastwood's "Italian Spaghetti Westerns" were actually filmed in this meseta area of Spain also known as the "High Plains of Castile". When I asked about some heat in our room, I was informed that the cold wind makes this area the coldest in Spain. Thank goodness Jerry has replaced his opera singing with reciting Eastwood's dialogue from these "classics". Problem is since Eastwood only had five lines per film, he has to repeat them over and over and over. This afternoon we stumbled into our only village for miles which had been a Templar stronghold.  We were just delighted to find a cold drink and honored to sit a while with the mayor who didn't have much to say.

  1. The mayor looks a little stiff to me....no loss on your part ! Sounds like we might need to have an Eastwood marathon when you get back...lots of trivia to play with !
    The cathedral pictures are stunning as well as the pics of the high planes. Be happy you are there and not here enjoying our 100 plus temps ! Finally had to give in to ac.
