After a long week of storms--cold, torrential rains, very windy with huge gusts--Saturday dawned calm, sunny and warm. I had a long awaited lunch with friends planned.
Here we are, dining in Spain! Well, we felt like we were visiting there. We met at Don Quixote Restaurante in Valparaiso for a long, leisurely lunch of soup, tapas and dessert! We had great fun. The food was great and we felt warmly welcomed.
While I was in Valparaiso, I stopped in at Imagine Beads (just around the corner from the restaurant). That stop did not help my budget but I had a great time browsing all of the wonderful beads on display. I brought home beads for a few holiday gifts--the new owner is very inspiring and enthusiastic. (no pictures because, well, presents)
When I came home I noticed this beauty in the pot on by our front porch. I'm amazed it survived all of the storms and cold. It was really nice to see it glowing there.
Hi Marjorie, efectively it looks that you spent a wonderful time with your friends :-)
