An altogether fine day! My Canadian friends, Mark and Jeannie stopped by the Parador this am at 7:30 for coffee while I had breakfast. They were most impressed with the building and my room. His feet are somewhat better, so they are pressing on as planned. I will miss visiting with them. I met Jesus at 11 for more sightseeing around this beautiful city, had some coffee and a nice long chat, then time for a short siesta before a late lunch. He and his sister,Marie, took me to a Greek restaurant owned by his student Pablo's parents (Pablo has stayed with John, Stace, and Jason Carman for a while). The food is all made by the husband and chef, while the wife takes care of the partrons. Anyway, it was a casual, 2 hour lunch, with some of the best Greek food I have had.
The sun should stay for the next few days, the temps remain cool. Mark continues to inspire me with how he is moving along with bad feet, so I may just do the same. However, after having a great mini vacation in such a great hotel and beautiful city, it is hard to wrap my mind around the work that starts again tomorrow. We'll see.
I see several items in the ceramic shop that would be great auction items for the Lobster Dinner! Press on, Jill. We love your updates and admire your tenacity and perseverance.
