La pareja feliz...
The gorgeous husband...
"Oh no, SEAGULLS!!"
Local landscape...
We had a great time on our trip yesterday. After yet another delicious breakfast at La Brújula, we drove out to San José, a beach town located about half an hour outside of Almería. I had been there before a couple summers ago to go to the beach with Charo and some of the other girls from the church. Gorgeous beach with low tides. This time around since we're not quite in sun-bathing weather we walked through the town, taking pictures and stopping at some of the local shops along the way. It really is a beautiful, tranquil place to spend an afternoon. After our visit to SJ, we drove another 20 minutes north to Níjar, a town known for its jarrapas, which are specialty area rugs. We ended up buying one for our living room, along with a couple more wall hangings.
After a day's worth of walking we came back home, took our siesta and then Chechu headed back out for his class with David, followed by leading worship before the men's Bible study. I stayed home doing some additional cooking and cleaning and finally organizing our guest room.
This weekend Courtney will be coming to stay with us and we're both thrilled to have her. She gets in from Granada tonight and will head back on Sunday evening. It looks like tomorrow we'll head out to Cuevas de Almanzora to see the art exhibits and tomorrow night after church we'll probably go and hang out with the young adults, as is customary on Saturday nights.
Work this morning has been extremely uneventful, although I have been productive in getting some things done. Since yesterday was a holiday a lot of people are on "puente" today, which is very common here. If a holiday falls on a Thursday a lot of companies close that Friday as well, making for a long weekend. Cristina was given today off to go to Valladolid, and whenever she isn't here it's pretty quiet. I still have to make lunch for today, so I'm going to leave a little earlier than usual. I'll be back this afternoon, continuing on with documenting my weight loss plans.. 'Ta hora!
