Lemons, Manchego and Jamon

View from our Balcony

At a sidewalk cafe in Motril

We awoke to birds and sun. Vasco quickly took to lying out on the balcony in his underwear (as only three years olds can!) and watching the banana tree grow.  We are even more delighted with the home we have rented. We lounged for quite a while before heading into Motril for lunch. We stopped at Al Campo on the way home. Al Campo is a supestore but it has a phenomenal food selection. I was overwhlemed with their selection of Manchego and Jamon!! Jamon is a salt cured ham of which their are many varieties.

Upon returning home, Anika and I made fresh lemonade from  the lemons we had collected from the lemon trees on the property and we got settled in. Late in the afternoon a shepherd led his flock of goats accross an old road beneath us. The home is part of development of primarily Moroccan and Spanish style homes that are perched above the Mediterranean.
