August 30, 2009 - The Spanish Coast















We awoke to another fine day! Christina elected to sleep in after a big night out, so Cheri, Betty and John hopped in the car for a day of exploring. We headed off down the coast and went to the beach at Callafall. Betty and Cheri found these really cool paddle boats with slides and decided that was the thing for them! John took one look at boats and thought, "right - they want me for propulsion - think I'll sit this one out!" He found a nice vendor who sold him an umbrella and a louge chair where he could keep one eye on us and one eye on the beautiful 'sights' walking by!!
After an hour of paddling up and down the windy ocean Betty and Cheri decided they had earned an ice cream cone! So we found a place right across from the tourist office and got some direction and a great cone! From there we headed to Altafulla to see a beautiful horseshoe shaped beach. We found the town sqaure and were the only Americans for miles - just what we wanted!! We ate lunch where no one spoke English and it was yummy and the people were great!

From there we headed into the mountains to see a monastery and the villages. Wine production is in full swing and we saw lots of ripe grapes!

That night we ate the in the Marina with Christina and enjoyed life!

Enjoy!
Cheri & John
