Another European Vacation

---

This morning after a leisurely breakfast we headed into San Lorenzo for Jim's hair appointment and then coffee. After that we took a drive and short hike to see La Silla de Felipe II (the kings seat). It is believed to be the spot where Felipe II rode in a carriage to overview the construction of his amazing palace and monastery. If true, it was neat to sit in the stone chair where a king in the 1500's once sat. The view of the monastery, surrounding mountains, forest and town were very lovely from this location. We then drove into the town of El Escorial for a light lunch of crepes before returning home. We spent the rest of the day relaxing on the patio beside the pool.
