DAY 6
SEPTEMBER 19
What a beautiful Sunday morning! Blue skies...white clouds...perfect
temperature...We had no plans for today, except for going to the bakery,
in the plaza, to buy a couple of hot, crusty, loaves of bread, and going
to Mass later that afternoon.
Gabriel woke up with a cold, but was in a good mood. Alberto watched
cartoons. Mayra and Raul worked on a project she has to start a business
of her own. I tried to wake up drinking several cups of delicious coffee.
Pepe was sleeping well into the morning. Poor guy...my tossing and
turning, getting in and out of bed, had woken him up several time
during the night.
But, around noon we were all ready to go for a Sunday stroll, and the
traditional buying of the bread at the "panaderia". Raul remembered
the Medieval Flea Market was in town. They only come every 3 or 4
months. Something different to see is always welcomed!
Every town in Spain has it´s main Plaza. This is Ciempozuelos´.
My hubby...probably wondering how much money I would spend here...
Aaahhhhhhhhhh! Yummy bread!!!
Ohhhhh....Spanish "rosquillas". Our version of doughnuts.
Pepe showing me some "cecina", or beef jerky, from his home town
of Leon! Interesting....
Here´s some pretty Moroccan pottery! I love these plates!!!
Natural soaps....Who said medeaval people were not clean???
Alberto, of course, had to ride on this....
Down this street something smelled very good....
Aha! No wonder....Our type of BBQ.
O.K. I know I want some of these Spanish olives!
My favorite, "Campo Real". These olives are mild and delicious!
And how about some kettle chips fried in olive oil??? YUM!
This is real ham, and not what comes packaged at supermarkets! LOL!
This is the type of stand my daughter Sandra would be
checking out...lol!!!
Here´s some entertainment....
At the end we decided to sit here and enjoy something to eat...
How is that chip Mayra?
All I can say is that the different meats were ummm, ummmm, good!!!
A little out of focus, but I love his little face here!!!
How wonderful to spend time with my lovely daughter Mayra!!!
And of course ....with my husband!!!
Later that day, Gabriel, woke up worse from the cold and Mayra
recognized the symptoms of bronchiolitis. Therefore, she and Raul
took him to the clinic, while Pepe, Alberto and I went to Mass at
Santa Maria Magdalena Church. This church dates from the 14th
Century. My daughter Sandra did her first communion there, and Mayra
and Raul their confirmation. And, now my grandson loves to attend.
I took this photo right before going in.
After Mass...we walked back home. Mayra and Raul had just arrived,
and Gabriel was better after a breathing treatment. However, now
I was the one not feeling to well...I had Marian on my mind, and
thinking about what she was going through was going to affect me...
one way, or another....
A violent migraine hit me that night. One of the worst I have had.
