42℃ at 10:30 p.m. Oedipus the King in a Roman theatre. Prometheus Bound in a forum. Ham and ruins everywhere. Oh, and a real find, a white Marques de Badajoz.
A dress is neither a tragedy nor a painting it is a charming and ephemeral creation, not an everlasting work of art. Fashion should die and die quickly in order that commerce may survive.
Food or frock?

That's a wonderful photograph.
This must be it in daylight. Here.I've not seen a Roman theater like that before, with stage with columns.

It was not a new dish, as I recognised my tooth marks. Wilfrid

It's not my photo. There are other well preserved Roman theatres, the best must be these: at Lepcis Magna:
And Sabratha:
Both in modern Libya.

Oddly, I was once at this one by nighttime for an unauthorized production of Oedipus the King, and it was 42 degrees.
I think that is the danger of keeping a blog: you exaggerate everything

I did a great route with my brother a couple of years ago. Madrid, Avila, Salamanca, Caceres, Placencia, Guijelo, Merida, Trujillo, Toledo and then back to Madrid.
It is, as the others point out, hot as Hell, but a fantastic trip and of course right through ham country.
