Day Off





I know that it appears that all we do is travel, since we have arrive here in Spain... But, let me re-assure you that we do work. We arise and get to the office by 8:00-8:30 am and usually work until 6:00-7:00 pm. We work Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
Most of the time, we plan a day trip on Wednesday's and Saturday's. On Wednesday, the two missionaries that we work with in the office wanted to go with us sight seeing. So, we planned a whole day seeing things they wanted to see and things we had not yet seen. By the end of the day I was exhausted. We had gone to three different cities, and gone up and down ancient stairs, walked and walked and walked. That evening, I couldn't walk. Even on Thursday, Friday and yesterday I was still recovering and in bad shape, so we decided to stay home on Saturday and get some of our chores done then go on a little car ride.

Our grocery stores are so interesting, that I took pictures of the store to show you. It is like a super Walmart, with food, clothes, bedding, outside furniture etc.. But the food is UNBELIEVABLE! Every time I go grocery shopping I think of Carole, and how she would LOVE the markets... They are so fascinating.
The fruits and veg. and meats here are fantastic. Such great flavor. I don't know why they taste so much better here..The sea food is unbelievable! Fresh and abundant. The pork is the BEST!
After we went shopping, we decided to go for a little car ride north of our home. The scenery is much like Arizona. Very hilly and rocky. And the wild flowers are breath taking... Every week I think that they will be gone, but they are even better!!!
