We awoke to no more rain and lots of birds chirping from the nearby aviary. Nicole’s recovery from the stomach flu was in full swing and we had the luxury of resting with all the fellow travelers (mostly Brits) at either the restaurant or at our site. A German couple who were passing by our van stopped to say they had had a similar van and we took the opportunity to ask them a couple of questions regarding the propane and heater. They were very helpful but declined our offer of a bag of dried fruit.
Charles and Dian had Irish sausage and couscous for lunch but Nicole wisely preferred to stick to simple food. After lunch Dian walked down through the avocado orchards that reminded her of friend Mary’s orchards in Ojai. At the Mediterranean, she explored an old torre (tower) and put some pretty tiles she had found near a roadside shrine.

On the walk home she found a ripe avocado on the ground and it was added to the dinner after which we all slept soundly.
