10-24 El Campello with Grands

 Our granddaughters from Sweden arrived at midnight on 10/23 or maybe is was a few minutes later and actually 10/24.  At any rate - we managed to stay awake long enough to get back to El Campello about 25 minutes later and all collapsed into bed.  Hopefully to sleep late on Thursday.

Thursday morning we did indeed sleep late.  Chief Michael produced eggs to order and all were satiated.  We stayed in El Campello, starting the day with a visit to the Valor Cafe - for Churros and hot chocolate.  I had this once before with Rene Michelle in Madrid at a Valor Cafe and loved it.  It was enough for a dinner for me.  Then it was 6 churros and hot chocolate.  This branch of the Valor Cafe offered 4 churros and hot chocolate - which was plenty for breakfast. In fact some of our party complained that the hot chocolate was too chocolaty and rich.  

We followed this with a walk on the beach next to the ocean.  The girls had a good time chasing the waves.  Shoes did not get soaked!

After this we walked around El Campello and made a trip to the grocery store.  We will cook in tonight.

Later on both girls braved the pool.  It was freaken cold.  I tried to stick my feet in - but did not succeed.  This is Natasha - but Lia also went in - they did not turn blue, but then again did not last that long in the pool!

Helato was enjoyed later on.  Maybe we will do this most days.
