Another day by the pool

The weather today was perfect.   It did get too hot to sit by the pool but we can always sit in the shade on the patio.   We had planned to visit Marbella and Puerto Banus to see how the others live but Pauline had a stomach upset so we stayed put.   Our plan is to go there tomorrow.

Once her stomach settled Pauline was able to swim and benefit from hydrotherapy.   As for me I went in the pool alone until Pauline felt better.   It was lovely and I really enjoyed it.   We enjoyed lunch which was cut short by the number of wasps attracted by serrano ham and Manchego cheese.   It was such a relaxing day.   

In the evening, once the wasps had gone to bed we had an enjoyable dinner with barbecued brochettes of pork accompanied by Caesar Salad.   The wine was a Marques de Riscal and was enjoyable.   We really enjoyed the meal which was ended with a special sort of profiteroles.   I love cooking.

As we sat by the pool we considered the view.   To the east Mount Maroma was in mist and to the south we saw Comares sitting on top of the mountain.   W e thought about days long gone by when Comares must have been the classical citadel on a mountain top, repelling all who invaded.   It really s the most impregnable position I have ever seen.
