Tuesday - a mellow day at home

Looking down at Muros harbor

We woke up late and decided not to go anywhere.  It is so nice here in Muros!  Jim and Tony did a hike up the hills on the other side of Muros. 

Eva and I walked to the local beach in Muros - we were in Beach Glass Heaven!  We spent over an hour beach-combing.  I am going to make necklaces out of the beach glass I collected.

We decided to make dinner here and instead eat lunch out.  So we went to our favorite local tapas place and had: the local little scallops in garlic,  red peppers stuffed with ham paste,  croquettes stuffed with "crabmeat" which looked suspiciously like surimi, and a salad.  They are definitely not big on vegetables here.   One of the reasons we prefer to make dinner here.  Our salads are better too.

Then Tony and Jim went to the nice big beach at Area Maior to swim and walk around the Lagoon.  Eva and I retired to our respective beds and read and napped.

We cooked a wonderful dinner of Eva's Eggplant in spicy tomato sauce, a beautiful real salad, and Anita's Tortilla Espanola using our dozen farm eggs that we still had in the refrigerator.  Enrique wrote me an e-mail letting me know that they arrived in Newton and found everything in the house "perfect!"  Nyx was there to greet them and Buster is still hiding from the strangers.  Enrique also said that everything in the apartment is there for us - that means all the beer and wine and Freixenet in the refrigerator!  We are going to have a fun night.
