Tuesday August 14,2018 This morning we all got up a little bit earlier in order to walk around the town of Zamora and get some errands done. We all showered, ate breakfast and dressed. Sally,Jay and I left the villa around 10 am. It was a lot of fun walking around the older and historical town. We drove back to the house and relaxed until lunch. The three of us had a lovely lunch and then again rested till my friend John arrived at a small town nearby called: MontaMarta.

I said “good morning” to Jay and we got into the taxi which drove us to StanStead airport for a 7 am flight to Bilbao.The three of us checked in our luggage and went through security, my bag was inspected which took a bit longer than the others.

I had breakfast and showered while Sally went out and played Tennis. around 12:15, Sally and I headed to Ipswich and I walked around the town for an hour while Sally had a haircut and did some errands. We each had an vanilla ice-cream cone with a chocolate wafer on top which was very yummy indeed!! Then we walked around one more store before Sally and I drove home. We just relaxed and hung out for most of the afternoon before it was to meet up with family for dinner and Theater in the Forest-at Jimmy’s Farm.

Sunday August 12,2018 This morning, everyone slept in and awoke late and then we had breakfast. After breakfast,I went in search for the regular Banana Grams game but alas, it is not at the villa. I decided to clean and organize the big chest of drawers. Games, art, writing, maps and other things. Then after lunch I relaxed on a lounge chair, read, wrote and had a siesta. We all had a late lunch and just chilled afterwards until the strong wind carried one of the outdoor Umbrellas and knocked it down. Luckily-no one was hurt but it was a bit scary. After that, we just chilled and relaxed the rest of the day. Later that evening-Sally,Jay,Henry,Rachel,Ella,Felix and I went to Marcelino Pateco’s house for Tapas. He had made croquetes, potato frittata, ham, courgette sandwiches, shrimp ... read more
