September in Spain 1
Tuesday, September 11
It’s felt quite different since our last batch of friends left for Italy. Ed and Odette are coming back from Rome on Sunday to stay a few more days here in El Puerto before they finally fly back to the States. But Elaine, Gene and Dandy will go home to the US the same day Ed and Odette get here.
After lunch today Donna and I decided to walk on the beach towards Rota. I walked all the way to where a barricade was constructed with some perimeter fencing with the sign ‘Restricted Area’ while Donna stayed a bit behind picking up nice looking pebbles on the beach. I saw some Navy ships a little up ahead so I think that section of the beach already belongs to the military and I noticed a guy in fatigues walking around on the beach on the other side of the fence.
There weren’t as many people as during the peak of summer and it’s not as hot anymore. However, there was still quite a bit of ‘nice sceneries’ (wink, wink). I just don’t understand, and I think it’s ironic the way people slather sun block all over themselves and then light up a cigarette afterwards.
Here are some pictures I took on various days here during sunset around El Puerto, Rota and Puerto Sherry. There was even one time where there were a couple of brides and grooms taking sunset wedding pictures.
Did you notice I like taking pictures of the sunset?
Mary called from work saying the earliest we can get the BMW is late Friday, possibly even Monday. Mary leaves for London for temporary duty on Sunday morning while Ed and Odette comes back from Italy that evening.
After Mary came home this evening the sky became overcast and it started raining. We’re trying to find some local news on TV wondering what the weather will be in Barcelona tomorrow. We’ll wake up early to meet a taxi out front to take us to the airport. We’ll be there for 2 nights and we’ll be back here on Friday afternoon.
By the way, not sure if I’ve mentioned in my previous blogs that Robert’s youngest sister has been granted a US tourist visa to visit Cesar. All she has to do now is pick it up, get her ticket and fly.
