A Perfect Day

Things are going well for the most part.  I have a few things to complain about, all of which circle around the fact that for the past while we have been waiting for someone to come and connect the internet.  Since we have no phones and it is our primary source of communication this is pretty important to us.  Unfortunately the company told us that they would come any time in the next 10 days.  (This was over two weeks ago by the way)  Because they refuse to make an appointment and we want internet very badly this means that someone needs to be home at all times.  Because Evan has a job, this role falls to me and I am SICK of sitting at home, doing nothing.  Waisting all of this uncharacteristically beautiful weather, sitting at home instead of at the beach is depressing.  Needless to say any chance I have to get out is well received by myself and my husband to whom I complain.  I believed I talked about the Serrano's and how they invited us over after church on Sunday.  Well they invited us to a picnic with some other people on Wednesday, which was really fun, and a great opportunity for me to practice a bit of Spanish.  It was on a 'mountain' (a hill) where the view was really nice.  We played twister and relaxed and chatted.

They also took us on a drive yesterday to see some of the most picturesque places in all of Spain.


I want to remember yesterday (Saturday) as the day I saw some of the most beautiful scenery Heavenly Father has ever created.  I only wish that my pictures could do it justice.  The point where ocean meets land is a dangerous and magnificent place.  Words cannot describe the priceless beauty of the sweeping hills littered with majestic rocks only to be cut off by jagged cliffs into a turmoil of white waves.  In certain places, the water is crystal clear and you can see metres down into the blue-green ocean teeming with fish and containing as much beauty as above.  Even though man has been to this place it does not take away from the experience like is so often the case.  An aged lighthouse sitting atop its majestic throne crowns an ancient outcrop of lichen covered stone.  A winding path picks its way through the bush and rocks to reach it's base, while sailboats seam to wave good-afternoon in the hot afternoon sun.  A refreshing breeze ensures that the day could not be more perfect.  Delicious traditional spanish food, excellent, uplifting conversation, and breathtaking scenery. The Serrano family could not have given us a more perfect day.
