Vacation in Spain

Vacation in Spain
Since Thursday morning we have been enjoying ourselves in Spain. We left Bergen Wednesday the 4th of June for a long journey for Copenhagen, Madrid, Alicante and eventually Ciudad Quesada. We arrived here at midnight and the next morning we slept until 9.30 in the morning! It has never happened before as far as can remember that we have been sleeping that long!
My younger brother, Harald, has a flat that we are renting for two weeks. We have been here once before and enjoyed it so much that we wanted to come back for a relaxing holyday! We are close to many beautiful beaches and we have already bathed in the blue Mediterrainian Sea. The temperature was nice and the waves refreshing.
More than anything else so far I have enjoyed the fresh fruits and vegetables. At home we are told that if we have five different kinds of vegetables or fruits a day it will be very healthy. This morning we had strawberries, cherries, plums, apricots, paprika, and tomatoes. For lunch we had a wonderful salad made of seven different vegetables! The vegetable markets are an experience in itself, the variety is great and the prices are low! We are here in just the right time!
