First, a little bit about yesterday. Yes, there were clouds, but there was the sun as well. Yes, we have laundry that is wet. No, we didn’t put it on a line outside…we put it on a line inside the tent (the tent that we normally attach to “Bumble Bee”). Then, we head off for town (Venaros) to use the internet and do some shopping at the “supermacado”. Fortunately after we found a parking place in town, Louise said “we had better take our umbrella”. What good advise that was, because just as we were stepping out of the internet café, the rain just let go… it was a total down pour. In a minute, the streets were totally flooded, lightning strikes close by, and we were about 3 blocks away from “Bumble Bee”. This was only the first of many down pours throughout the day. The laundry was safe from getting wetter than it was already, but it wasn’t getting any drier either. By the time we got back home, we decided to just stay put…pick up a book and get a little more informed. This morning we awoke to a bright and sunny day. A couple of wispy clouds, but we were in for a good sunny day. We got the clothes dry, wiped all the wet and mud from the tent and tarps, and stored everything away. About 3, we had everything done and settled into a chair in the sun before the sunset. The night we arrived in this campground, we went out to dinner at the campground restaurant. We saw a number of plates of lamb chop being served, and decided right then we would be back…tonight was the night. Normally you will find 2 or 3 lamb chops on your plate, but here I had 7 very nice chops… I ate very well. You know another thing that we like about this camping and traveling, the people you have a chance to meet. Tonight we met another wonderful couple (Kris and Peter from GB). The opportunity to meet, exchange travel stories, offer places to see and explore, hold a book exchange, or just have a good ole conversation together makes this whole trip worthwhile. It would be very nice to have a day like today tomorrow. Only the next 9 hours will tell. Our plans are for a trip to Peñíscola, so hold your fingers crossed for us…
