A tour.

A call from the Barahonda bodega and our winery tour is all set for April 2nd at 12:00. We were going to lunch in their restaurant but looking at their menu and prices, I decided against it. Prices are too high. Instead we will have lunch in the town of Yecla at the restaurant La Zaranda. It has more variety in it's menu and lower prices suitable for us. We may not have the panoramic view of the valley but our pocket book will be happier and everything I have read about that restaurant looks good. At this time the weather is predicted to be sunny, subject to change of course. We've been having some cloudy, cool days lately and even some rain. It would be nice if all the days were sunny when the kids are here but we do need the rain.

We talked with Karen this morning and they are having a marvelous time in Barcelona. They wre able to ride the elevator to the top tower of La Sagrada Familia and get fantastic views of the city Plus, they were the only two people on the elevator so they were totally alone on the viewing tower. Today the planned to see the Picasso Museum  and I suggested two mor buildings, of Gaudi, Casa Milla and Palau Guell. Joe had heard of them and already was interested in seeing them.

I met with Pedro this morning for our talk and he gave me the name of 3 more wines to try. He has been busy this week helping a friend plant a new vineyard.

Telefon z Barahonda Bodega i nasza wycieczka do winiarni jest ustalona na 2 kwietnia o 12:00. Zamierzali艣my p贸j艣膰 na lunch do ich restauracji, ale patrz膮c na menu i ceny, zdecydowa艂em si臋 tego nie robi膰. Ceny s膮 zbyt wysokie. Zamiast tego zjemy obiad w mie艣cie Yecla w restauracji La Zaranda. Menu ma wi臋ksz膮 r贸偶norodno艣膰, ceny s膮 ni偶sze ceny, odpowiednie dla nas. Mo偶e nie mamy panoramicznego widoku na dolin臋, ale nasza kieszonkowa ksi膮偶ka b臋dzie szcz臋艣liwsza i wszystko, co przeczyta艂em o tej restauracji, wygl膮da dobrze. Na obecn膮 chwil臋 przewiduje si臋, 偶e pogoda b臋dzie s艂oneczna, z zastrze偶eniem zmiany, oczywi艣cie. Ostatnio mieli艣my troch臋 pochmurnych, ch艂odnych dni, a nawet troch臋 deszczu. By艂oby mi艂o, gdyby wszystkie dni by艂y s艂oneczne, kiedy dzieci s膮 tutaj, ale potrzebujemy deszczu.

Dzi艣 rano rozmawiali艣my z Karen i wspaniale sp臋dzaj膮 czas w Barcelonie. Mogli wjecha膰 wind膮 na najwy偶sz膮 wie偶臋 La Sagrada Familia i podziwia膰 fantastyczne widoki na miasto. W windzie by艂y tylko dwie osoby, wi臋c byli ca艂kowicie sami na wie偶y widokowej. Dzisiaj planowali zobaczy膰 Muzeum Picassa, a ja zasugerowa艂em dwa budynki, takie jak Gaudi, Casa Milla i Palau Guell. Joe s艂ysza艂 o nich i ju偶 by艂 zainteresowany ich zobaczeniem.

Dzi艣 rano spotka艂em si臋 z Pedro na nasz膮 rozmow臋 i da艂 mi 3 kolejne wina do wypr贸bowania. W tym tygodniu by艂 zaj臋ty pomaganiem przyjacielowi w zak艂adaniu nowej winnicy.
