Yesterday...

Me and daughter in the roller coaster (ha ha ha)

The evening ended at the local pizzeria

Fire alarm!!!

 One evening when we were driving on the motorway we where met by a "wall of smoke". Unfortunately it was close to our residence area, and we were afraid the fire would spread and come closer to our house.
 Luckily it didn't, but we didn't sleep very good that night.

you can see the buildings surrounded by flames.
over 2000 people had to evacuate from the area

Fish spa !?

Yes!!!
One of the weirdest things we did in Spain was the fish spa!
Believe me, tickling, bizarre and fun are just a few words that describes our time in the fish tanks. 
And what a feeling afterwards, all 4 of us came out with "baby feet".




Mijas at night

 One of the nicest "pueblos blancos" in our area in Spain is Mijas.
Unfortunately it is a bit to overcrowded of tourists (many from cruise ships from Malaga) but anyhow I find this place a bit magical. 
And we have found a superb pizzeria with breath taking views, the address is a secret though :-))

Old finca....




El campo

Sometimes we need to something else than relax by the pool, be by the sea or do shopping. The other day we explored our nearby, rural area.
Found old fincas and a wonderful view over the ocean and Gibraltar.

Playtime

Last week when my sister and her family came over,
 we were all playing tennis.
Had a very active hour in the heat, but we had so much fun.
Long time since I did this, but need to show you that we do other things than just relaxing by the pool :-)

(Nice style, don't you think.....)
