I haven't come across any new words in my reading this week. But I have been pondering (insert John shaking his head) the English language as I have read some words that made me think.

Monday Mural
I'm linking up at Monday Mural
January 2019 - Mazatlan Mexico
Some murals we found as we strolled along Av Camarón Sábalo.
Mary's Burgers/Casita Maria
The rose/bow-tie are over the washroom doors.
Sadly, the mural, that I had named Mary, on the side street beside Mary's, is now gone.
Further along is El Cochito Sinaloense restaurant. Click here for a 2017 post when it had another name.
On the side street across from Starbucks.
Inside the parking lot.
On the way I caught this mural at the entrance to a restaurant.

List
One Word Sunday LIST
I don't usually make handwritten notes, as I use apps on my phone for tracking most things, such as my grocery list is kept in Out of Milk app and my store loyalty cards are stored in Flipp which also provides flyers for local stores.
But this was the first photo I took when I got my new phone last year.

November 2018 - Barcelona Spain
The Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia, also known as Barcelona Cathedral, is the Gothic cathedral and seat of the Archbishop of Barcelona. The cathedral was constructed from the thirteenth to fifteenth centuries, with the principal work done in the fourteenth century. The cloister, which encloses the Well of the Geese (Font de les Oques) was completed in 1448. In the late nineteenth century, the neo-Gothic façade was constructed over the nondescript exterior that was common to Catalan churches. The roof is notable for its gargoyles, featuring a wide range of animals, both domestic and mythical.
The cathedral is dedicated to Eulalia of Barcelona, co-patron saint of Barcelona, a young virgin who, according to Catholic tradition, suffered martyrdom during Roman times in the city. One story says that she was exposed naked in the public square and a miraculous snowfall in mid-spring covered her nudity. The enraged Romans put her into a barrel with knives stuck into it and rolled it down a street (according to tradition, the one now called Baixada de Santa Eulà lia). The body of Saint Eulalia is entombed in the cathedral's crypt.
The choir stalls retain the coats-of-arms of the knights of the Order of the Golden Fleece. In his first trip into Spain, Charles, the future Holy Roman Emperor, selected Barcelona as the site of a chapter of his Order. The king had arrived for his investiture as Count of Barcelona, and the city, as a Mediterranean port, offered the closest communication with other far-flung Habsburg dominions, while the large proportions of the cathedral would accommodate required grand ceremonies. In 1518 the Order's herald, Thomas Isaac, and its treasurer, Jean Micault, were commissioned to prepare the sanctuary for the first sitting of the chapter in 1519.
The crypt.
