Charles asked if the camp staff had any fresh bread for sale, as some have, but this was not the case. We were happily surprised then when camp owner Begoña hand delivered us bread from somewhere in town! We decided we would stay another night to catch up on blogs, use the good hot showers, Wi-Fi and toilet paper! (Shocked as you might be, we really came to appreciate bathrooms with simple amenities like paper towels, soap and yes, TP).

| Puerto del Vega |
Eggs were cooking while Dian gave Nicole a "cockney cooking class," wherein she asked Nicole what two things could make anyone like any dish, to which she replied, "sugar an' onions!"
 |
| Octopi |
Dian and Nicole walked into town, bought strawberries, and explored tiny residential streets. They visited the fish market (already closed, save for a few men still weighing fish and LIVE octopi that Nicole and Dian feared were in danger of sliding out of their boxes). They went through the pretty manicured park to the maravilloso museum of Puerto del Vega. They were quite impressed with the state of the art exhibits on display, showing old relics from the area and telling all about the town's history. They were greeted by the same man who had shown them the Casino the night before, and he explained that although many people had left the town for the big city, they were still loyal to their home and put a lot of money into the museum.

| Where was the last small town museum you visited that had video and HOLOGRAM accompaniment? |
 |
| We were reminded of the historic Muller House, where Dian's mom volunteers in San Pedro. |

| Madreña-shoes in various stages |
 |
| Look familiar? |
Back at Camp Ancla we had a meat and cheese platter from the restaurant bar, and Jose, the other camp owner, demonstrated the tradition of pouring a regional alcoholic apple drink high above the glass to make it bubble. Dian brought in the guitar and made a little music with Jose and Begoña. We talked to Grandmother and Grandad afterwards and Nicole and Dian did a few paintings, and Nicole sculpted a rabbit from the clay she had found on a beach.

| It has been brought to our attention by some blog followers that we post too many food photos. Tough. |
