From Elayne
Paul is so laid back about being out here, that he now thinks that the 20th of August is 48 hours long. I think the sun has got to him.
We started the day in the usual way of visiting the cyber café to update the blog. We then went to the supermarket to get some supplies.
The place was so busy that it took us 15 minutes to get to our turn at the checkout.
Last night Eric had shown us some rocks, that he and his grandchildren had collected from down in the gully, just up the road from us. They have streaks of azurite and malachite in them, and look very striking, so we went down to have a poke around for ourselves.
El Pinar used to be a mining village, years ago, and the cliffs of rock were full of caves and holes and tunnels. It was also very hot out of the wind. We found some pieces to collect, then I found the beautiful large piece in the photo. It should make a good door stop, or anything else of complete uselessness, but it is pretty and I like it J We were so hot when we got back that we had a swim in the pool, which was pretty chilly I might add. We are now chilling out, or warming up, with a cup of tea, whilst we think of anything else wildly exciting to do with the rest of the day.
