Saturday stroll

Dear friends and family,
Let it be known that this and the previous entry are out of order.
Yours,
Erica

Last Saturday friends of Angelita came for lunch (delicious paella!!). After eating till we were ready to burst, all of use (except Angelita, who stayed with her granddaughter, Raquel), went for a walk. The sun shined brightly and the scarce cotton-candy clouds only added to the idyllic day. I led the way down the pedestrian path toward the river, carrying a long-sleeve shirt in case I got cold in my t-shirt. About half way there, we came upon a playground, and the mother of a former missionary in Madrid (Debbie), suggested we climb up. We were joking about chin-ups, and I said that perhaps I could do one. I tried...got my chin to the bar, but not over. That started the rest climbing as well, which must have been a spectacle for the man we saw peering out the window at us.

All of us (except Debbie taking photo) including our 80 year old instigator.


The river was beautiful, and we stayed out about 2 hours. I hope to go back sometime soon, when I have time.
