Almeria Day 3

Wow, another fabulous day. We are fortunate people. The Alhambra would have been very hot, expensive, and super crowded. The Alcazaba was hot, vacant, and free. It was beautiful, the archaeologists are still digging it out and we got some great video. We also climbed part of it, unknowingly, it was amazing and there are houses conected to it. The information about the fortress was super detailed and we learned a ton. Oh, and we got Liz a bday treat. (She'll be old enough to be president soon)
After wandering the city center we went back to the beach and watched a family play racket games
Cultural note: kids 12 and under swim and play naked. Parents bring training toilets to dinner and toddlers pee in their trainers on the street. We've even parennts hold their tikes over drains as they did their job. - remember what a challenge it was to go potty in public as a runt of a tike. I didn't like sitting on the giant adult toilets.
Dinner was good again. We wandered through a dozen diners and none held a candle to where we ate yesterday, so we went back. The waitress ordered for us this time. We had a smoked fish salad and a tomato soup similar to gazpacho, with jamon serrano on top.
Tomorrow we are off to a national park and maybe a Roma cave town.
Wish you were here.
