Relaxing Sunday

Sunday Oct 9, 2011

We awoke this morning to mostly cloudy skies with a little sunshine poking through. Mom made french toast for breakfast. It was good to have a fresh cooked breakfast. I guess that I was getting tired of the buffets. As we ate, the sky cleared and the wind died down so we took a little walk down to the beach. It was wonderful, really wet, but wonderful to look at. Almost idyllic. We did not stay out long but came back so that mom could finish her blog and I could add mine. We sat out on our patio in the sunshine and just soaked in the beauty of it all. Just as we finished, the sky clouded over and the wind came up. The sea grew rougher again and we could hear the waves crashing against the shore. We quickly moved our computer and tablet inside. Then it started to rain. So we connected to the net and watched the Saturday morning session of conference. Loved the talks and music. When it ended mom made some spaghetti for supper and we cleaned up. The sun was poking through again so we went for a walk up the road in the opposite direction to where we went to the market yesterday. We took our raincoats, just in case, but never needed them. We saw amazing olive trees, dilapidated and derelict houses, fancy hotels and bed and breakfasts and gardens with all kinds of produce, including large squash hanging 6 feet in the air. We got back and walked back down onto our beach again. very relaxing. I was going to blog but the internet connection was too weak to get on so we watched the BBC news for awhile. I tried the internet again and was able to get on, so we checked our email, blogs and facebook. The wind and rain returned but we are toasty and comfortable in our villa. Just a relaxing Sunday.
