After a morning of coffee and tostadas, Mary arrived and we started a journey east of Ribera to visit small cities connected along the way. First Lo Pagan, then San Pedro del Pintar and eventually ending up in Pilar de Horrada. We parked the car by the old watch tower and went for a long walk along the boardwalk by the sea.
It was another magnificent day for being outside, beautiful for walking or pushing Joan in the wheel chair. She could have walked also but the distance was too far for her and the chair made it easier for all of us. Earlier I walked with her to the beach and then around town a little to keep her exercised.
There were many people already outside, cafes filled and people on the beach. A few were swimming and more than a few on the single sailboats. I, of course, took pictures.
By the time we turned around we were hungry so we found an empty table in a cafe and stopped for lunch. Joan had a chicken salad, Mary a tuna salad and I, my favorite, calamari andaluza.
We talked with Joan's daughter and she and the grandson, Joe,will be flying into Barcelona on the 24th, staying 1 day and then taking a train to Alicante where they will rent a car to drive to us. They will stay until April 6th.
Po porannej kawie i tostadas przyjecha艂a Mary, a my ruszyli艣my w podr贸偶 na wsch贸d od Ribera, by odwiedzi膰 ma艂e miasta po艂膮czone drog膮. Najpierw Lo Pagan, potem San Pedro del Pintar, a ostatecznie w Pilar de Horrada. Zaparkowali艣my samoch贸d przy starej wie偶y stra偶niczej i poszli艣my na d艂ugi spacer wzd艂u偶 promenady nad morzem.
To by艂 kolejny wspania艂y dzie艅 na bycie na zewn膮trz, pi臋kny na spacery lub pchanie Joan na w贸zku inwalidzkim. Mog艂a chodzi膰 tak偶e, ale odleg艂o艣膰 by艂a dla niej zbyt daleko, a krzes艂o u艂atwia艂o nam wszystkim. Wcze艣niej szed艂em z ni膮 na pla偶臋, a potem troch臋 po mie艣cie, 偶eby j膮 wy膰wiczy膰.
By艂o ju偶 du偶o ludzi na zewn膮trz, kafejki wype艂nione i ludzie na pla偶y. Kilka p艂ywa艂o, a wi臋cej ni偶 kilka pojedynczych 偶agl贸wek. Ja, oczywi艣cie, robi艂em zdj臋cia.
Zanim si臋 odwr贸cili艣my, byli艣my g艂odni, wi臋c znale藕li艣my pusty stolik w kawiarni i zatrzymali艣my si臋 na lunch. Joan mia艂a sa艂atk臋 z kurczaka, Mary sa艂atk臋 z tu艅czyka i ja, moja ulubiona, kalmary andaluza.
Rozmawiali艣my z c贸rk膮 Joanny, a ona wraz z wnukiem, Joe, wylec膮 do Barcelony 24 maja, zatrzymaj膮 si臋 na 1 dzie艅, a nast臋pnie jad膮 poci膮giem do Alicante, gdzie wynajmuj膮 samoch贸d, by do nas dojecha膰. Pozostan膮 do 6 kwietnia.
