Surviving Winter On The Costa Del Sol

San Geraldo’s “cyclonic winds” were back again over the weekend. It even rained enough to give us a good soaking. I loved it; San Geraldo complained. The sun and calm returned to start the week, so I went for a long walk. (Click the photos to experience January in Fuengirola.)

OUR SECOND MANGO… FROM PIT.

OUR MANGOS AT SUNRISE TODAY.

HIBISCUS ON THIS WINTER DAY.

THE BOYS, WAITING FOR ME TO LET THEM OUT ON THE TERRACE
(AND TO LET IN THE WINTER AIR).

It’s always a good day when it ends with dinner at Sandpiper. Even better, they treat to chupitos (shots) of Bailey’s Irish Cream. Since San Geraldo began his diet some months ago, he cut out those chupitos. So, Jessica told Juan Carlos (the bartender) to start pouring both into one glass for me. It made me very happy. San Geraldo decided the other night to allow himself his chupito, which did not make me happy. But Jessica and Juan Carlos took pity and I still got a double.

SO NICE ON A COLD WINTER NIGHT.
