We had a busy week of sightseeing so Vern and I decided to rest on Saturday. That meant it was time for laundry and repacking for the following week's adventures. In the evening we went "bar-hopping" with Jeanna and Eli, which meant we went to two bars. The last stop was at a popular bar called La Manchega. It was established in 1886. As we entered the building we were allowed to go through the bar (literally they lifted up the bar and let us pass through) to the downstairs basement to be served dinner at a table in that area. It was incredible to see all of the decor from the late 1800's around the room. Besides that the food and drinks were also great!
The next morning Jeanna and some friends were in a 5K run for charity in Jaen. Vern and I strategically placed ourselves at a spot on the course where they would be turning and running back uphill so we could get the best photo shots. Well looking at the slideshow will give you a pretty good idea as to how successful we were. (That was just half of the pictures Vern took.)
We went shopping at a local flea market and stopped by a florist to buy a plant for Maria, a teacher at Jeanna's school. We had been invited for dinner for the second time this week and we were so excited to get a chance to visit with Maria, Rafa, her husband, and Laticia, their daughter. The plan is that in the summer of 2010 they will be coming to Oregon for a visit. We can't wait to see them again.
