How to say Goodbye in San Javier Spain
Well, our 2 months are up, and we are off to tour Europe. Our bags have been packed and re-packed, and we’ve even managed to store some stuff so we don’t have to drag it with us everywhere. Excitement is a given, but we also feel sadness. We have met some wonderful people in San Javier, who have taken us in, and shown us a good time, we will miss them greatly.
So how do you say goodbye in San Javier? You throw a BBQ apparently. During our time there, we came to the realization that Spanish people love a fiesta, any excuse will do. So when Loly, owner of the Chealingea, (our local bar) found out we were leaving, she decided to throw us a BBQ.
By noon, on a very beautiful Saturday afternoon, the flat top was set up outside, music was playing, and all our friends were gathered to send us off. They cooked off platter after platter of pork that was juicy, and served it with fresh bread that you just ripped pieces off of. Norden made some very tasty mini burgers, and “The Doctor” as we call him, brought some very nice wine.
So the cerveza was flowing, the sun was shining and a good time was had by all, especially by Kristen, who was high jacked by an older gentlemen for a dance, and he just wouldn’t let her go. Ok well maybe she wasn’t having that good of a time, but everybody else was laughing to the point of tears, including myself. The day was so much fun in fact, that Loly said she would throw us another BBQ when we return in May. Like I said, any excuse for a fiesta!
We are now starting our backpacking travels through Europe so be prepared for lots of great stories and adventure to come.
Love Sarah
