(...)
Walking around was getting more and more difficult so when we reached the Cathedral I decided to sit admiring the whole atmosphere rather than making the effort of walking into its premises for a visit that I felt I wasn't able to.
Waiting for the adequate treatment until the confirmation of the biopsy determined whether it was lichen planus was having an effect on me and for all I was being corageous in defying the odds, the truth was I wasn't in the best of my physical conditions to do things I would normally be able to do, irrespective of the personal interest.
I decided therefore to sit at the Cathedral outside grounds and not visit it, in what turned out to be a rather relaxing sequence of observing moments. Getting to know a place also implies just sitting and looking at people and the way they act at or around a particular place (in this particular circumstance a significant veneration one).
The courtyard cemetery called my attention because some unmarked graves were in the shape of people. I must confess I later regretted not having made an effort to further explore this UNESCO designated site, which also includes the Castle.
