Nuevo barrio

We said goodbye this week to our first apartment in Spain. We will remember it always! The elevator was ridiculously hot and really slow and had a tv screen on it that always gave us the wrong weather report. But the apartment was a lovely home for 5 weeks and we found out that we absolutely need to buy a panini press. We've moved to a nice apartment on a lovely beach called Patacona with an amazing pool.

The Spanish really know how to beach. There are little beach bars every couple of hundred yards that have food, drinks and music all day and well in to the night. People bring pop up tables along the boardwalk and have dinner with wine while kids run around on play structures that are also all over the beach.

We also went for a long drive this week down to Alicante and went to Grandella Cove with picture perfect water. We did some stand up (and falling down) paddle boarding. Presley is getting really comfortable in the ocean which was on Tyler's bucket list. Another lovely meal on the side of the road on the way at a place perfectly named Oasis. Bodhi watched in agony as a big hairy German Shepard ate a giant rib bone at the table next to us.
