\nThe alternates<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
\nWe have a lemon tree in our garden. It is a great luxury to just go out and pluck a lemon for our gin & tonic:

<\/p>\n
\nOne of the social activities at our office is Bacchus, the wine club. Once a month they organize a tasting, and so Thursday evening this is where we were, tasting wines from a local producer from the province of Alicante:

<\/p>\n
\nAfterwards we went for dinner at a tapas bar, and despite being with my wife, I enjoyed the sights:

<\/p>\n
\nOutside our front gate there is a vacant lot. I hope it stays vacant for a long time, and given the construction slump in Spain, it will:

<\/p>\n
\nIn the morning I did some chores, and then I took a motorcycle ride along this road, south of Alicante:

<\/p>\n
\nThere is a large desalination plant near the town of Santa Pola. These are the surrounding wetlands:

<\/p>\n
\nSalt in the water:

<\/p>\n
\nSalt on land:

<\/p>\n
\nThen, in late afternoon, we walked down to the beach with our dog to let her play in the water:

<\/p>\n
\nCheeta had exercised a lot, and of course the water from the Mediterranean is not drinkable, so we bought her some bottled water:

<\/p>\n
\n…which she thoroughly enjoyed:
