HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM

Friday, November 11, 2016
Málaga, Andalusia, Spain and Canary Islands
Sharon called this morning at around 9:30 to ask what we were up to and we were still sleeping, nothing new for me but late for Tom. I guess that is what happens when you are getting older LOL
We went for a nice walk along the ocean and saw these amazing fish skimming the surface for their food, we think . The weather is 18, sunny and beautiful. Of course Sharon and I picked up some rocks and shells for our endless collection. Then we went for a walk along the street and stopped and looked in some of the stores and the guys checked out the cost of renting a car.
After our walk we had lunch in our rooms and then met down by the pool to relax and recover from our long day yesterday. Ed and Tom both braved the pool while Sharon and I relaxed read our books and snoozed. Life is grand..... As the afternoon wore on the wind picked up and it got pretty chilly. Sharon and Ed went to their room to make us an amazing birthday supper for Tom and Tom and I went for a walk. It is a beautiful area we are staying in, not a lot of garbage around and the people are pretty friendly. NOT like the French in Paris or on the plane to here. Forgot to tell you yesterday, on our Air Europa flight from Paris to Malaga Tom did not have a working seat belt. Tom didn't want to say anything in case it slowed up our leaving Paris and Ed said well its not like it is going to save you if we crash. When you think about it, nobody is saved because they are wearing a seat belt if the plane crashes.
On our walk this afternoon we were stopped by a mom and several teenagers wanting to interview us because we spoke English, it was a school project. It was fun and they were pretty cute doing their thing.
We saw some roosters, chickens, ducks and a huge rabbit in a park that we walked around. On the boardwalk near the ocean we passed by several little restaurants cooking sardines over charcoal firesĀ 
Around 6:00 we went to Ed and Sharon's for a wonderful supper. We had periwinkles for an appetizer and then chicken and pasta for the main course and apple kinda tart and ice cream for dessert.
Now it is time to get ready for bed and be up earlier tomorrow morning for another full and amazing day.
NIGHT and HUGS

Happy belated birthday there Tom! I really love reading your blogs Terry: I imagine you are typing fluently and then slow down to capital LOL... Just love that! Life is grand when you can take a siesta after each or before each meal. Terry those potted plants looks cool, I'm sure your grandkids would love doing that! And yes, who better than 2 ex teachers to be interviewed by a group of kids?? So great of Sharon and Ed making you the birthday supper that night. I think I'm reading from back to front, but it doesn't matter, I enjoy every adventure. You should have it published one day
