More sun!

The sun will not stop shining, it is incredible. We visited a place called Elche yesterday. It is surrounded by palm trees planted by the Moors and is quite lovely. We had lunch in Alicante overlooking the marina and then took a long walk along the mosaic tiled esplanade. Spent some time on the beach while Paul had a beer in the shade. In the evening Paul´s folks treated us to a fabulous meal at a restaurant called Christopher's. After a moonlit walk by the seashore we fell into bed completely satisfied.

Today, Friday, we walked the 2 mile Playa Flamenca market making various purchases along the way. Mary made us a wonderful lunch which we ate on the patio and relaxed in the sun. We could get used to this life style quite easily.

The picture is of the garden outside our apartment at the resort. Our patio overlooks this. A little piece of heaven.

Here in Spain!

After a long but uneventful flight we landed in Barcelona. Had a great sleep and a fab hotel, caught the train to Alicante the next morning, arrived at our resort in Torrevieja that evening.
Our place is great and looks over a beautiful garden and is a 5minute walk to the beach.
Took a drive to the mountain top village of Guadalest where we had some spectacular views of the countryside. There is an interesting small church right on the edge.
We also visited a shoe outlet with hand made leather shoes, I couldn't resist buying a couple of pairs of course!
Have been spending time with the folks who are doing well, also had some nice meals at outdoor cafes by the beach.
Life is good!
