October 9-12, 2011: Spain Post-Party
There were things to do around Casa Emilie to close-up shop. Floors to be
swept. Bars installed on windows. Tables dismantled and stored or
returned to builder David. Almonds to be delivered to commercial buyer.

|
|
We put our heads together as to what needed to be done while there were still plenty of laborers ...
|
|
|
|
... and among other things, put the cover back on the pool
|
|
|
|
We watched horsemen ride by the front of Casa Emilie ...
|
|
|
|
... and did some wrap-up sorting/cleaning of almonds so we could take the bags to the commercial almond merchant

On Sunday, Oct. 9, after everyone else had left, the Brunborgs and Shipleys
returned to Salobrena for some beachifying and lunch. There was a festival
going on, and I chose to wonder among the celebrants instead of laying in the
sun with Barb, Lars Helge and Tove.

Street was lined with boothes selling clothes, purses, nick-nacks, etc.

Flamenco dresses abounded
|

|
When one is wearing such a dress, and the music is playing, one dances!

Further down along the street the floats were parked and the principles lunched on or near their floats

When the others had had enough of the sun and sand, we gathered for lunch at a beach-side restaurant
|
|
|
|
Barb ordered a "mixed fish platter for one". One family maybe?
