| The German guests checked out (English guests due to arrive later today). At about 12 noon David Hope & I walked to a local festival for the town of Almogia. The walk took us about an hour. |
 |
| At the festival there were many horses/floats/women dressed in Flamenco dresses/rides/clay pigeon shooting - lots for all the family. |
 |
| Watching the clay pigeon shooting and having a few beers! |
 |
| This was the view looking down onto the Festival. It was very funny as some English people who we had met before had told us to join them as they have more fun than the Spanish! So we went in search for them and found about 20 English people sitting with their BBQ and drinks around a table - No where near the activities - so they couldn't hear or see the fun! Why don't they integrate with the Spanish????!!!!! So as you can imagine we didn't stay long with them and went back to be apart of the Spanish way of life. |
 |
| The girl looked beautiful. |
 |
| See the portaloos in the background - could not believe they had cleaners cleaning them all the time! Not like at home! |
 |
| These horses were all in a competion. They would race down a track holding a small thin piece of wood and try to get it in a hole attached to a ribbon which was hanging under a frame they had to pass through, |
 |
| After the festival the 3 of us walked on for about another 3/4 hour to find the house of Renee (the English lady who came for coffee the other day who has lived here for 14 years and lost her husband 3 years ago). On the way we passed a farmhouse and a gorgeous puppy followed us all the way to Renee's house! |
 |
| Renee lives here in this beautiful rustic house that her and her husband had built. Very remote (don't think I could live alone here!) |
 |
| On her terrace. |
 |
| She is a bit of an artist and has done some great pieces. |
 |
| The master bedroom with views forever. |
 |
| Another one of her paintings. |
 |
| Renee made us tea and a homemade apple pie. |
 |
| Everywhere was very tastefully done. |
 |
| Hetty came and picked us up as we didn't want to walk all the back! We dropped the puppy back off at the farmhouse - at one stage I think Renee wanted to keep him! |
 |
| We had an easy dinner as the English guests had been delayed and didn't arrived until 11pm. We watched a great movie - Prisoners with Hugh Jackman |
