We went to the market again today. This time we bought
coffee and some of those flat green beans that were so good yesterday. We also
bought 2 humongous artichokes at .65 a lb. We bought a rabbit and when the
vendor cut it up for us, she was surprised that we didn't want the head. I
wouldn't have a clue what to do with those eyes staring at me.
Afterwards we went for a cache that was about halfway
up the mountain. The views going up were
almost worth all the hard work. Almost at the point where we were going to,
there was a big crowd of people. They were cooking paella in a huge pan.
Something is going on because we saw a lot of people dressed in costumes all day,
but we have no idea what the occasion is.
Finished the evening by watching a movie.
There was a lot of noise outside during the night. I
got up to watch what was going on since I couldn't sleep. 2 cars were parked on
the corner with their lights flashing, music on full blast and the trunk and
doors open. After a while they left but the noise continued for most of the
night. Jacques didn't hear a thing, so I guess that there are advantages to not
hearing well.

February 2nd, I did not think you guys had been gone that long? How times fly
ReplyDeleteJacques put in the wrong date. Changed it
DeleteDid you get to try that paella?
ReplyDeleteNo it wasn't ready and the line was already long.
DeleteNo the line was tò long
DeleteFrom what I can read from the signs behind the paella, it says something like La Fallera rice - favorite of the Valencian
