Last full day in Calpe

Today is the last full day of vacation here in beautiful Calpe.  It has been a wonderful day, as has been this entire week.
Today we woke up around 9am, and I made french toast.  Sadly, we didn't have jelly, or cream cheese, only maple syrup.  But it was still delicious.  While we ate breakfast, we watched the news, where the running of the bulls in Pamplona was re-run and commentated upon, and shown about four or five times.

Today there were only a few injuries, an Australian gored in the leg, and an American gored with a horn as well.  I don't think I could ever do it.  I have been around bovine enough to know that they are stupid, and should not be messed with.  Stupid people.  They obviously deserve it.
After breakfast, we went to the beach.  I have to admit, I love the beach.  It's so warm, and nice, but it's a bit annoying with children who can't sit still and then move and blow sand into your face.  But oh well.  Still a very good day at the beach.
We came home around 1:30, and went straight to the swimming pool for a little bit.  It felt sort of like a bath compared to the sea, because it was so warm, and I like the pool because it is cleaner and doesn't sting my eyes like the salt water does.

We then proceeded to come up to the apartment and eat lunch.  We had some left over paella from yesterday, and then there was some kind of vegetable salad, with like peas, carrots, potatoes, mayonaise, and tuna.  It was really good.  The paella was good as well.  It's a rice, a yellow-ish orange-ish rice (because of the flavoring) with lots of different types of seafood. I know for sure there was squid, shrimp, mussels, and there were some that I just didn't even want to know what it was.  It's probably best if I don't know.

After that, it was nap time for the kids.  I decided to take advantage of the last day, and head back down to the beach promenade.  I bought a few presents, and have to go searching for some that I saw earlier in the week, but couldn't find today.  On my way back down the promenade, I decided to stop for a drink.  I got a mojito, which is definitely one of my favorite drinks.  (only 6 months until I can have one in the US)  I walked along until I found a spot on the steps in the shade.  There was a slight breeze blowing, and I had a spectacular view of the Penyal D'Ifach, and the beach around it.  All I could think was that life was good.  It was so peaceful and nice to have a little bit of time to myself this week.  I love the family I am with, but I get sick of my own family on vacation sometimes, so, what can I say.  


Tonight we are going out to the port where Carmen and David went on their date the other night.  It should be fun.  I love trying all the things here, and can't wait to go out for dinner!  I will come back to this post later and post some of the pictures I was talking about, but I forgot my camera cord back in Tres Cantos.  So they will have to wait.  Hasta Luego!
