Isabel and I were in charge of breakfast this morning so we made French omelette and pan con tomate, on old family favorite.
Later in the morning Joe, Caleb, Dave and I drove to Alicante. Our first stop was to look for a place to rent scooters for Dave and I to go on some excursions. The laws have changed since I was last here and they required an international license, so we weren't able to do that. We then did a few other errands and stopped by my Spanish grandfathers old place downtown which was now just a small plot of land amongst other buildings. I have some pictures below showing the area. It is just a few blocks away from the port, making it an excellent location.
After a nice lunch on the explanade, we dropped Joe and Caleb off at Rio Vida and headed towards Guadalest, a tiny mountain pueblo an hour north that we always enjoy visiting. We did a little shopping, took some pictures, and had one of the best Sangria's of my life.
We headed back around 7pm and watched Caleb's last hour of a soccer scrimmage. He did great playing left fullback. We were amazed at the skill level of the 15-year-old Spanish teams.
When we got home, Sarah had prepared an amazing Paella for about 20 people. This was Joe's monthly men's group meeting night, so we got to meet them and enjoy a very lively discussion about how God intersects our lives.
You guys look much more rested now... what a great trip! Can't wait to hear more in person.
