Boardwalk & dinner

 At the hair salon for Joan, I translated what she wanted into Spanish for the hairdresser, asked how long it would take, and then used that time to go for a coffee on the boardwalk. 5 minutes later, I returned and took Joan for our tostadas and coffee breakfast. The cost was 8.45 euros(36 PLN)($8.45). 

From there we went to get a bus schedule from the local tourist's office for the bus to Dos Mares where I will go food shopping. Ester has given me the name of a young woman who will come and sit with Joan while I am gone. It will make it so much easier for me to shop.

Toward evening I discovered I didn't take anything out of the freezer for dinner, so we had to go out to eat. It is difficult now finding a dinner place that is open before 8PM but I remembered one that we went to years ago and it was open.

We had a delicious dinner. First, there was fresh bread with a garlic/mayonnaise dip.  Then a salad of tuna strips, tomatoes, walnuts, and olives. For the main course, we had paella with chicken and prawns. Everything tasted great. The wine was an excellent red wine from Spain. The dessert was chocolate mousse.  The paella was so big we took half of it home for dinner tomorrow night. We paid 53 euros but considering we have another paella dinner tomorrow night, which is 26.5 euros for each night.

 W salonie fryzjerskim dla Joan, przet艂umaczy艂am fryzjerce, co chcia艂a na hiszpa艅ski, zapyta艂am jak d艂ugo to potrwa, a nast臋pnie wykorzysta艂am ten czas, aby p贸j艣膰 na kaw臋 na deptaku. 5 minut p贸藕niej wr贸ci艂em i zabra艂em Joan na nasze 艣niadanie z tostadas i kaw膮. Koszt wyni贸s艂 8,45 euro(36 z艂)(8,45$). 

Stamt膮d poszli艣my po rozk艂ad jazdy autobusu z lokalnego biura turystycznego na autobus do Dos Mares, gdzie zrobi臋 zakupy spo偶ywcze. Ester poda艂a mi imi臋 m艂odej kobiety, kt贸ra przyjdzie i posiedzi z Joan podczas mojej nieobecno艣ci. To bardzo u艂atwi mi robienie zakup贸w.

Pod wiecz贸r odkry艂am, 偶e nie wyj臋艂am nic z zamra偶arki na kolacj臋, wi臋c musia艂y艣my p贸j艣膰 co艣 zje艣膰. To jest trudne teraz znajdowa膰 obiad miejsce kt贸ry jest otwarty przed 8PM ale pami臋ta艂em jeden 偶e p贸j艣膰 do lat temu i to by艂 otwarty.

Mieli艣my pyszn膮 kolacj臋. Najpierw by艂 艣wie偶y chleb z dipem czosnkowo-majonezowym.  Nast臋pnie sa艂atka z pask贸w tu艅czyka, pomidor贸w, orzech贸w w艂oskich i oliwek. Na danie g艂贸wne mieli艣my paell臋 z kurczakiem i krewetkami. Wszystko smakowa艂o wy艣mienicie. Wino by艂o doskona艂ym czerwonym winem z Hiszpanii. Deserem by艂 mus czekoladowy.  Paella by艂a tak du偶a, 偶e po艂ow臋 zabrali艣my do domu na jutrzejsz膮 kolacj臋. Zap艂acili艣my 53 euro, ale bior膮c pod uwag臋, 偶e jutro wieczorem mamy kolejn膮 kolacj臋 z paell膮, kt贸ra wynosi 26,5 euro za ka偶d膮 noc.
