As forecast, today was sunny. It was a market day, and the sad state of fruits in the supermarket got some explanation—much better produce is available on the markets.

| The post office was closed until afternoon because of the strike |
In the morning there was a strike. Those who arrived on car or bus were late, as the streets had been blocked. It seems that there are nationwide protests against the governmental plan to raise the retirement age from 62 to 65. From the class window we could see that the protesters were mainly school students. Good to start political activity at such a young age.

| After the market |
After the class I had my lunch at a tiny restaurant, a Spanish one, and then had a little walk in the old town, taking photos, and back for the afternoon for some more classes. After these posted a letter from the post office (nice weighing and stamp-issuing machines), strolled a bit more, through places I had not yet been and visited the local supermarket.
It was a warm day today, and I could see insects and butterflies flying. This means there were also bats in the evening. Of the many gadgets I have taken along, I also have the bat detector; how very convenient, isn't it?
