Back from Armenteira and Pontevedra

This will be a short one although a great deal has happened. It is a little before 7am. In half an hour Eddie and his dad will take me to the train station and I will be heading for Sevlle or Sevilla as they say here. Eddie´s dad is so thoughful.
Yesterday we went shopping again to the huge super market in Mahadrahonda which is a town closer to Madrid city and where they lived for 20 years before moving to where they are now. They have been in Villanueva Padilla only 5 years. It is just a little further from the city of Madrid. He bought me some pears and arare for my train ride. He saw the snack was from Japan so he thought I would like it.

After shopping he took me to where they used to live. They have a long large mall where cars are not allowed like forth street in Honolulu,but this one is in the center of this neighborhood. There were lots of people strolling and sitting on benches placed under a tree having a relaxing time visiting with famliy and friends and animals and children. Lots of Cafe,and shops of all kinds. We sat down to have gin and tonic(Eddie´s dad)and ice cream for me. He said this was the best place for ice cream. There was a couple next to us with two young children having ice cream also. Eddie´s dad confess he is looking forward to being a grandpa. There oldest son who is 26 will be getting married in September of this year to a girl he met in France. We saw many many baby strollers being pushed by grandparents. Eddie´s dad said Seville is THE place where people really know how to relax and have fun.

I see my time says 7:15am. Eddie said that we are to leave at 7:30am sharp.
I must say Adios Amigos for now. I´ll have to find an internet cafe in Seville to continue my story.

Aloha,Mahalo, and Malama Pono, Joanne
