Alicante - Monday, February 25


Jacques added the way to put comments on the top of the blog for those of you who asked how to do it. Thank you, André and Wendy.

We started the day by going to the central market. We wanted some fish but most of the fish vendors were closed. After roaming about in the market, we decided to go to the grocery store for our groceries. We will go to the market once we figure out things more. There were lots of vegetables at the market. A big cauliflower was 1 euro.

After the market we decided to do a bit of geocaching.  17.5 km later we arrived back home. We had liked the lemon chicken that we had eaten in Benalmadena so much that I tried to make some for supper with the breaded chicken pieces that we had bought. It was not the best meal that I ever cooked.  I burned the garlic as well as the chicken and the lemon juice that I added just made it mushy. The only good thing was the lemon slices that I had cooked a bit. I will try again later. Hopefully with better results.

There is a brand-new stove in the apartment. We are the first ones to use it. The kitchen is well equipped with a dishwasher and most everything that you need in a kitchen. Actually, this is one of the best apartments that we have ever rented (apart from having to climb 3 flights of stairs but that is normal for Europe). They had full bottles of shampoo, soap, pkg of toilet paper, dish soap, and dishwasher tabs etc. And even a few spices.

Every second person in Alicante must have a dog, unfortunately not many people clean up after their dog. I feel sorry for the dogs. We're walking around in short sleeves and these dogs with fur coats have an extra sweater on them. They must be hot.

  1. I'm finally reading your blog after Wendy reminded me that you had one started one. I was still waiting for an email... Looks like you're having a good time. Makes me wish that we were leaving sooner than April 1.
