Arcade, Spain

03/13/10

Then one of the teachers invited us to stay at her little house in a small town called Arcade . So, here we are in the cutest little house you can imagine. The snuggliest bed in the world. The nicest leftovers from our huge lunch. The computer I’m writing this on. There is every comfort here. For the whole weekend. How generous is that?

Even down to a bag of fruit donated by one of the parents. Eric was saying while we were walking to Redondela that he thought we should eat more fresh fruit. And there it is, a bag of all kinds of fruit. It’s amazing how wonderful people are being to us.




She told us that this house used to belong to her husbands grandparents. She fixed it up. It sure is cute and posh in every way. Michele, you would love it!



She took us up above the bay high up on a mountain to see the view. That's the bridge in Vigo across the way.

I’m staying off my knee all day today with it up and an ace bandage on it. Eric has explored the town.

Today they had us to their home for lunch, very ethnic food with the whole family including Beatriz brother and his daughter. I swear that Beatriz makes the best Empanadas in Spain!






Then we went to a Camilia Flower show at the local castle, which was really quite beautiful. Eric took lots of pictures.







Then their three sons, Rodrigo on Bassoon,Ishmael on percussion (really a violinist) and Nicholas on Oboe were in a band concert there in the courtyard of the castle. It was really enjoyable and the children did very well. I really enjoyed the whole day. So, now we sleep one more night in the cute little house and tomorrow we are going to walk again.

On to Ponteverdra!
