Before we left for the sunny Med, we attended one of the many social events in the Wilno hills. This one was a pig-roast featuring a small pig of our acquaintance which had been fed on Red Canoe Cafe leftovers all summer. Here's neighbours Pete and Dan with the main course. Pete found a method of BBQing which worked wonderfully and we all had a great feast.

Tom enjoying the Costa del Sol. We had fabulous weather with 29 days of sunshine and warmth...a few hours of cloud and one day of chilly breezes. Our apartment was in a great location and we spent many happy hours walking along the Mediterranean which was moments from our door. Also discovered a great new Spanish "chirinquito"....open air beach front bar on Playazo beach. Great tapas and friendly staff.
And of course, we had a marvellous meal at The White Truffle...where Sian and Lisa set a new standard for food and service in Nerja. We volunteered to be kitchen slaves for them next year during our holiday. It would be fun to work in someone else's restaurant for a change!!!


And so here we are in our favorite Spanish Mediterranean village, Nerja, enjoying a month of sunshine and blue skies, good food, excellent wine and friendly people. We are hoping to turn our winter vacations into a little business, organizing holidays for our fellow Canadians...and eventually hope to spend more time here ourselves.
