First full moon of the new year…FRIDAY THE 13th… We were up early this morning and had our “Garage Sale” set up before 9am. Yesterday we went into town, and had about 50 flyers printed (about 40 to many) advertising our Garage Sale…”We are selling out to head back to the USA”. By 10:30 everything was sold and people were still coming by late in the afternoon looking for a bargain. One thing for sure, this is a sure quick way of meeting everyone in the park. Now as we walk out to the gate or even to the banõ, people we've said hello to before, now meet you with a larger smile and “neighbor” hello. I think it's just that they are a little more relaxed and feel they know you now more as a neighbor, instead of just a camper. Well besides the garage sale, we have been busy. Whether it's staying home because of a day of rain (we only had 1 of these), or walking into town just to get some exercise. Sunday's and Wednesday's are market days here. This is something that we both enjoy. On Wednesday, there are 2 market locations in Benidorm. This last Wednesday we walked to the one that is on the far side of town. I think it took us about 45 minutes to get there. Once there, we found it to be much larger than the one closer to the campground. Walking back, we came across a Tony Roma’s one of our favorite rib restaurants. We just couldn’t walk past it…Baby Back Ribs ??? Oh my God, were they ever good. Fortunately for me, Louise couldn’t eat all of hers, so I was able to have a great “left-over” lunch today. Not only are we selling things prior to heading home, we are also buying??? Yep, we both have found a deal or two that we just couldn’t pass up. My purchase today, was a pair of shoes !!! Now you know how hard it is for me to find shoes. They may not be a perfect fit, but for $49 Euro, I can limp a little. Besides, I just wanted to have a regular pair of shoes, not just tennis shoes or sandals. One of our “neighbors” introduced us to Skype, a phone system that we can use through our computer. After up-loading their free program, we were making phone calls to everyone…calling the states from here cost us less than 2 Euro Cents a minute. We call from our computer to the house phones of our family and friends. Boy, do we like this !!! OK, now I am caught up.
