Today started off by driving Julia to the airport ;(
We enjoyed a nice relaxing day at the house today.
We have discovered it's best to park away from the main part of town, because there are no parking spots. Or we end up paying €10 for parking in the parking garage. So we parked and walked 20 minutes along the beach into town. Eam really enjoyed seeing the sights.
We sat and enjoyed a pitch of sangria, then the girls and I went shopping for a while.
We met up at Malik's for dinner.
(Eam is relaxed)
Some of the best Indian food ever!
It was awesome.
Day 12/ June 8, 2013
Today we woke up to rain and thunder, but by noon the sun is out again.
We get ready and pack up to go fishing. We drive about an hour and 20 minutes to the place we're going to be staying for the next 4 nights.
We stay in a little caravan (aka trailer)It has 2 bed rooms, 1 w/ twins and a little bunk, the other has a full size bed.
Eam sleeps on the couch in the dinning area.
Sarah and Gary our very gracious hosts.
They take us into the near by town called l'Ampolla to get a drink and hang out.
The girls getting gelato.
A goofy hat that I got for free with my mojito.
For dinner we stopped at a little pizzeria.
Abby samples some red wine.
Went back to the caravan to get some sleep before our first day of fishing for wels catfish.
Day 13 / Sun. June 9,2013
Andy and Eam enjoy some coffee on the patio before we meet Gary.
A 20 minutes drive to where we launch the boat in the Ebro river.
The morning is gorgeous.
The girls are excited!
Our bate. Live eels and mullet fish.
So far, no fish. It's been a long day.
Here comes the rain. We sit under our jackets in the rain.
Then it's hot and sunny.
First day is over, 8 hrs on the river. No fish, but we have 2 more days to try.
We get back to the caravan, Sarah and her daughter Haley got Tory a birthday gift.
While we were out fishing. Sarah took Eam on a sightseeing tour. He had fun.
We go into town for dinner, we take a walk on the seaside.
There is a gym next to the playground. Pretty funny.
Andy and Eam order something that doesn't translate to English, Sasuela. It ends up being one of their favorite meals. It was a large skillet with a variety of fish and seafood.
Day 14 / Monday June 10, 2013 - Tory's 13th birthday!
Tory and I take the day off from fishing. We slept in and then went into town to go to the beach.
Tory's birthday dinner.
After dinner we all play cards to finish off Tory's 13th birthday.
Day 15 / June 11, 2013
The girls and I let the boys go fishing on their own. We enjoy breakfast in the caravan and watch some British TV. It's getting hot sitting in the little tin box, so we get dressed and drive around.
Found a really beautiful long sandy beach.
The girls and I go to the beach, then get lunch and walk the shops.
We head back and get cleaned up and wait for the guys to come back.
THEY CAUGHT FISH!!!
Andy and his 64lb Wels Catfish.

Freshen up and wait for my parents to arrive.
