Thanks.
Another time, in Egypt, I got on a camel that was kneeling to go on a trek to a local oasis.
It refused to get up off it's knees, even though the other dozen or so had all done so.
The Egyptian owners couldn't understand it, as it always behaved for them, but despite gentle cajoling, then sharp words, threats, and eventually physical beatings the camel wouldn't move for nearly an hour, finally arising and heading slowly off in the wrong direction.
I gave up and went back to the hotel.
(on foot).
I bet somewhere there's camels telling their friends how they can't stand Adams too.

On the South coast, in some of the places I visit, English ex pats are often more common than Spaniards.
Many Brits retire there, so many shops, bars, restaurants etc are owned by them.
And tons of holiday makers, especially in summer .
However, i often visit other Spanish cities or rural areas where English is not spoken, so yes, i do speak quite passable Spanish .
You speak Spanish and the Spanish folk pass straight by!

So you survived the day, then.
Hope the weather behaved itself.
Absolutely poured down all day - we were all soaked to the skin. The paths had turned into streams and we were knee deep in mud for some of it. But spectacular waterfalls and we all had fun! So a very challenging but good day thanks!

To visit my mother in GEORGIA and do some work on her house and also to repair some fences on my property in South Carolina. (My goats have been getting loose.)
Hopefully get in a little fun as well.
Although you'll be busy it will be nice to see your Mum, and I'm sure you'll enjoy he change of scene too.
Hope you manage to round up your goats too! How many do you have?
