Paella and Line Dance at Cal Cameu!

Now it was a looong time since I wrote anything! Today is the day I begin again with a lovely day at a
rural house called Cal Cameu about 30 minutes from Torredembarra. It is owned by Judy, my good
friend and companion of Line Dance.

We had a Paella at her house (and what a paella cooked by Pilar!). Our gang is a bunch of very nice people and I am very happy to be part of it!! Here you see Judy and I:

We were 26 people,  husbands, wifes and children also making part of the fiesta. First of all it was
a fantastic sun shining day and a fantastic wind, blowing away all the clouds. When we arrived at the house
it was a breathtaking view. The house is built in a rustic style with all comfort:

Everybody helped to bring wood to the fire, to prepare tables and drink vermouth to keep the wind
away. Pilar, our companion-cook, really knew how to make paella and for 26 people!! Here she is at work:

It was a seafood paella and first all the shrimps, calamares and vegetables and then all the rest of ingredients followed to be fried. Then the rice was poured in:. 3 kilos! followed by the stock: 9 liters!
Here Tony and other Linedancers are at work helping Pili:

Now the tempting smell was flying over the garden and Frank came to see whether it was ready.

Mmmm, I think he was a little hungry. The "aperitivo" had stimulated the apetite..

READY! Looking delicious! Everybody in the house and to the table:

Here Rosalia (a relative of Frank) and her husband Salvador enjoy the food and company.

Then came coffee with "avec",  and a looooot of cakes and goodies. Wow! I think  I had whipped cream coming out of the ears. Mmmmm - I AM a cookymonster... Satisfied and happy the dance could begin out in the garden. Frank prefers to look at the people dancing..:

Pere and Belén also enjoy watching us dance...very amused it seems!

It IS really great fun to dance Line Dance. Have you tried sometimes? My friend Angels is a real prof!!!

Well, so after a lovely, funny, nice day with Frank and good friends, we said goodbye and went home.
Judy and a friend Marie here saying goodbye!!

Thanks all friends who had bought, prepared and cooked everything. And thank you Tony and Belén for your arrangement of the whole thing and THANK YOU  JUDY FOR HAVING US ALL WILD LINE DANCERS IN YOUR HOUSE!!

This was one of this days I will remember with joy and warmth!

Line dance party in Altafulla

Oh, what a lunch! Our Line dance club celebrated the 4 years anniversary at Hotel Gran Claustre in our neigbouring village Altafulla. 31 persons and the most delicius lunch.

 
It began with Cavadrink by the pool..some would have liked it to be IN the pool!!


After having enjoyed the food the dance began. Here Belén in action.

What a style…2 generations..son Bernie and his father Jordi.

Dancing for 4 hours afer a 3 courses lunch…Well, well this is what keep
us young (and beautiful..) I guess.
THANK YOU Belén and Toni and all fantastic friends!! What a nice day we had!

THE WHOLE GANG!!

Breakfast in the garden of Rosa Maria!

This morning we had breakfast at Rosa Maria´s and her son Jordi´s home. It was in the name of the political party CIU. And what a breakfast!!

First one grills lovely loafs of farmers bread. Then you rub them with tomatoes and pour olivoil and salt on them (Pa amb tomàquet).

Breakfast here is not exactly like in Sweden.. We were served all kinds of sausages, cheese, ham, freshly grilled lambchops, grilled vegetables, etc. etc. Everything was washed down with wine in "porrons" (glasbottle with pipe that you can drink directly from in the air) or water, cocacola, and other refreshments. Here you can see Frank in action. He likes his wine for breakfast...

Rosa Maria and her brother Pere



I am in doubt what to choose!

The almonds are almost ripe! In one month they will harvest them said Rosa Maria


Frank decided to have some more! We had no lunch today as you can guess!!

That was a nice and funny breakfast!! Finaly Pere Font came and tried to eat everything very fast and make up for what he missed, since we arrived. They made fun of him saying that he had to grow..(he is about 1.95 tall!!) Oh, what a beautiful morning....
