Last night we slept very well. Not only were we very tired after our awful windy night on Tuesday, but we danced the Merengue, Machetero and Tango for an hour before retiring to Lentisco’s bar, where we drank and danced with a super crowd of people, to the excellent JC, until half past twelve and then sat talking until after one o’clock. When we finally rolled out of the bar they were putting the chairs on the tables for the clean up. That’s what you call a good basis for a good nights sleep. We surfaced at ten o’clock this morning with the cats hopping about cross legged because they wanted to go out.
It’s funny but I avoided being ‘burnt out’ by the time I was twenty five, but I’m not sure about reaching sixty five if we are having this much fun now.
In the pictures today, is one of the Taberno by-pass nearing completion. They have been building it for nearly three years because they kept running out of money. We feel very privileged to be witnessing the final part of it. It will reduce the traffic flow in Taberno from twelve cars an hour to about six, by diverting traffic coming up from the south, that wants to go to Albox in the south west, without it coming into the heart of the village. It all seems a bit over kill to me, but then I don’t live in the village.
When we arrived back at base today, we saw that the builder (one presumes it is our builder Javier) had deposited a pile of scaffold type girders neatly to one side of the caravan (see picture). Does he know something that we don’t or is he just parking them here for a while? We have not heard anything from anyone in regards to the planning and we only have a vague hope that Chema (architect) might give us some news if we see him tomorrow evening. I suppose it could be classed as progress really.
