The wind was gusting and we were nearly blown off our feet. Still, what's a little breeze when you've got the Mediterranean sun?
So, San Geraldo and Judy did crossword puzzles, we had coffee, and we were off to Mijas Pueblo. (Click for bigger pics.)

| SAN GERALDO'S PUZZLE LOOKS LIKE OUR KITCHEN AFTER HE COOKS. |
 |
| I DON'T KNOW WHY. A REPLICA OF BIG BEN IN MIJAS PUEBLO. NOTICE THE VIVID BLUE SKY — AND THE BLOWING PALMS. |
 |
| AFTER AN INDOOR LUNCH AT BAR MARTINA, STILL BLOWING AND THE SKIES ARE NO LONGER BLUE. |
 |
| PABLO PICASSO ON A CHAIR NEAR THE RESTAURANT BEFORE LUNCH. |
 |
| SAN GERALDO ON A BENCH NEAR A SHOP AFTER LUNCH. |
 |
| MUCH COLDER AND THE SKY THREATENS. TIME TO HEAD HOME. |
 |
| BACK ON OUR TERRACE HAPPY AMARYLLIS UNAWARE OF THE WIND. |
The answer, my friend, is still blowing in the wind...
You had me cracking up! Your humor is keen. I love it! And I'm glad that you ventured out in spite of cyclonic winds! 💕
ReplyDeleteElaine:
DeleteIt was a pleasure... a chilly pleasure. You would have thought it was a summer day!
Someone was super covered up I would say! Winks!
ReplyDeleteCrossword heaven!!
Ron:
DeleteIronically, he was the only one prepared for the chill. I had a very lightweight sweatshirt that didn't even protect from the wind. I immediately bought a wool scarf!
How great is having a car now!? Whipping around everywhere....just like that wind.
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought SG sitting on bench was another sculpture! SG looks very COLD! Don't get me started!! lol
The colours, vistas, and the company make it all worth it!!
Oh, a pencil may help with the crossword....just sayin.
Jim:
DeleteI thought Jerry looked like public art, too. It really did feel raw out there. Today was gorgeous!
I've always been a fan of Peter, Paul and Mary. I do like the Picasso figure, even though it isn't much of a likeness.
ReplyDeleteStephen:
DeleteThere's a better Picasso in the museum there. I love these kinds of sculptures and have thought of doing a papier mache "person" for our terrace.
That bench shot? How bloody cold is it?
ReplyDeleteJohn:
DeleteI'm ashamed to tell you it was a frigid 13C... Do you think maybe our blood has thinned a bit after all these years living in Southern California, the desert, and the Mediterranean?
you got THAT right on the song, mitchell!
ReplyDeletepablo looks a bit stiff in the cold, as does SG. at least SG is still alive.
the flowers certainly add a bright spot to your day!
anne marie:
DeleteWe've got so much in bloom on the terrace: Amaryllis, hibiscus, crown of thorns. It really helps on the cloudy, rainy days.
Okay, is it bad of me that the first picture, the Pablo on the bench, that I thought it was you.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should clean my glasses!
Bob:
DeleteOh, you are in big trouble!
Oh boy, that all sounds great! cyclonic winds and all!
ReplyDeleteJudy:
DeleteIt's good we now have a car and it's so easy to get to. I would love to spend hours wandering around again — in the warmth and sunshine!
Pablo Picasso must have thick skin. He doesn't look cold at all.
ReplyDeleteStay warm and don't get blown away - not in a bad way, at least. ;)
Robyn:
DeleteThat specific Pablo has skin like parchment — I mean, papier mache!
