¿DONDE ESTA EL MARTILLO NEUMATICO?

Look what we saw when we exited our house this morning.


Two hours later


Two hours after that

Where's the jackhammer? It's all done by hand. They're using a crowbar and a big hammer to prise out each paving stone at the upper end of the andador. We haven't worked up the courage yet to ask them what they're doing. Could it be a fountain? I'll never leave this place if it is. Or is it a barrier to keep al Qaeda car bombers from getting down to the government office at the other end? (In our old US home town, the government erected just such barriers around the federal building, which included the post office. We called it, among other things, the faux phallic phalanx.) Or maybe they know that I was running out of blog material and wanted to give me some exciting things to post? I will keep you abreast of the progress.

Congratulations to all the point winners. We have the smartest friends (and relatives)!
