We decided to go to the monastery yesterday so tomorrow can spend more time in Albox at the flea market and looking around.  The trip was again amazing I am always surprised  how far you can see.  The hills are covered in olive, almond and orange groves.   Ter is impressed with how straight they are planted up and down and around the hillside.  The monastery was really beautiful, the pictures do not do it justice.  It was really interesting learning the history, Vern I got a medal for you.   There is a fancy restaurant below the monastery, so we gave it a try.    We were the only ones there, the waitress did not speak English.  The menu was all in Spanish so we just gave a guess and ordered.   We loved it, hugh salad then Ter had soup, which was like egg drop soup, I thought I was getting fruit (Berenjenas Fritas con Miel) turned out to be eggplant with a chocolate sauce.  It was a lot of fun!  Actually drove all day without getting lost.  My favorite cat,  Sammy is now bring me presents - ticks!!!  two on her in the last day.

Ter is working on plans for after we leave here on the 28th.  We will have till the 7th to tour Granada, Seville and Cordoba... so getting car rental and lodging booked.   Planning on driving back to Madrid.  All for now, more soon
