This week I had to go back to Warsaw, but on business and just for one night. Otherwise, it was a pleasant week spent in Alicante, working but also enjoying life.
Main
On Sunday some good English friends from Switzerland, who have a vacation home about 60 km from here, came to visit:
The alternates:
Alternate 1
In the afternoon, I had to take my daughter to a friend’s house in Villajoyosa. The town is famous here in Spain for being the headquarters of the Valor chocolate company.

Alternate 8
Is he a Facebook addict, or a poet suddenly struck by inspiration, or…? I will never know:
Alternate 9
According to my viewers, a proper PAW must contain pretty girls, so I finish with these two Warsaw señoritas:
