Day 10 - Slow Sunday

Yesterday, we ate lunch at Roma, our new favorite place here. Like most restaurants along the waterfront, it is Italian, not sure why. Anyway, they have good pizza, pasta, and soup (which we had Monday night).

More oddities about this area. First off, I keep forgetting to mention that they play instrumental versions of Disney music in the breakfast room at this hotel. Very strange. Also, there is an ice skating rink right by the ocean near the hotel.

We tried to go to a fancy tea shop that we happened across, but every time we walk by, it is closed. Quite a few places here are closed until October, not sure why.

In the afternoon, we hit the beach for some reading (and knitting). We just missed the deck chairs that they set out, so we were just on the sand with our towels. We inflated the crocodile floatie that I'd bought and I proceeded to go make a fool of myself out in the water, but it was quite fun.

"Quite a few places here are closed until October, not sure why."

Because even the Europeans in the Canary Islands go on vacation in August.

Yeah, we got that, but wouldn't that put places opening back up in September, not October? They take two months off here?
