Week 26 of the build. It is supposed to be finished this week. It could be finished this week if some ‘digits were extracted‘. However we won’t be surprised if it’s not. Needless to say, no builders, electricians, plumbers or cleaners on site yesterday and today.
Last night we went, with Allen and Mags, to Saliente. We had been invited to go there for a drink and to watch Steve and Trudy’s paragliding friends having a mass glide from Steve’s launch site high above Saliente. It was a nice evening so having a drink, listening to nice music and watching eight or nine paragliders swooping and soaring around was great. Whilst there we met up with Jane (interpreter) and her husband Bill and their youngest daughter Lucy. Some of the paragliders came in so close to where we were sitting that we got some good photographs of them. One or two actually landed on the monastery plaza and one guy got his chute and lines all tangled up in the trees whilst his mate landed and the chute blew back over the cross on the plaza. A good evening was had by all.
Afterwards, Allen, Mags, Jane , Bill, Lucy and her friend, and Elayne and I went for a meal at a petrol station at Las Pocicas. You wouldn’t head for a petrol station if you wanted a meal in the UK would you? but this was a small family run garage and the food was really good. At €11 a head, including drinks, it was very good value. Another bit of local culinary knowledge under our belt. Thanks to Jane and Bill for their recommendation and guidance.
