20150527_Ecuador_0049 A soccer  field /basketball court we saw as we were walking on the wall.  This is a great addition for people living in surrounding houses who want to play sports.

20150527_Ecuador_0053 There were even gardens in the old city.

At this point we were making our way to the end of the walk.

20150527_Ecuador_0067 I'm not sure I would want thousands of tourists walking by my house and laundry every day.

20150527_Ecuador_0080 Back to Stradun (Placa) Street, the main open urban area of Dubrovnik and the most favoured promenade and gathering place.  Of course this is the busiest area as well in the old city.  This street is the widest and most beautiful street and divides the City into the northern and southern halves.  At the same time it is the shortest route  between the western and  the eastern City gates.  The Placa street was paved in 1468.  The limestone pavement remains polished from use.  As you can see it fairly shiny and bright.

Finally it was time to head back to the hotel.  In the photo, on the left, Miles was posing for me.  Anna Lisa, behind is already on her way up.
