Day Three:

Yesterday I got a cab down to La Cala, J. got a bus and we had lunch at a chiringuito.

Not a liquid lunch! But this wasu Mojito.. mmm very nice! 

I had chicken a la plancha y patatas fritas.. We then walked along to a bar I hadn't been in before, a Reggae bar right at the end of the beach, where the paseo ends and it's just sand and rocks..

I had a G&T, Larios, por su puesto.. J. a wine.. we sat and talked and laughed in the sunshine.. a man at a nearby table got up and leaving his glasses on the table went to the bar.. a little while later I noticed someone go up to the table and sit! I said in Spanish and English excuse me there's someone sitting there and he turned around and said yes it's me! so funny J. and I were hysterical!  another man at another table nearby burst out laughing, I looked at him and he said no no! it's very good that you care about other people like that! it was so funny!

Then after a little while a girl asked if she could sit at the table with us, there were still three empty chairs and I said yes of course, as long as you don't mind some rather raucous conversation and she said no not at all, that she would enjoy that very much! Five minutes later a man sat down her partner, and then another ten minutes later his friend joined them, joined us, so there were five of us... we were just talking to each other, like old friends quote quickly..

I have to say though something strange did happen she said to her fella that she wanted a drink, she only had a small amount of drink left in her glass, and he said well you know where the bar is! and she threw what was left of her drink at him! his face his chest! He was covered, amazing how such a small amount of fluid can go so far! so he was left sticky, it was cava I think...  and he went and had a quick shower from the shower on the beach..

 There had been a very awkward moment, a strange moment, but there was quick recovery on all parts... and we had a great amount of time with them talking, it was really nice then they left, and then us..

I went on the exercise equipment, kind of had an idea J. was taking photographs, didn't expect to see them on Facebook which is fine! Also by then I had had another G&T..  we made our way to the taxi rank said our goodbyes and both got in separate tax's..

Really good day...
