Day 9: Wed 23rd July 1997

Once again we have managed not to post the post cards.  I think in order to do that, we have to actually be awake in the morning.  However, we did manage to get up a lot earlier than yesterday.  We started our day with the usual trip to the shop for the basics - alcohol.  Joanna has all of a sudden become sophisticated and progressed  from the cheap sangria to the still cheap, but slightly more expensive wine.  Lisa has also progressed, now instead of having to keep going to the fridge for another bottle of beer she has just one giant bottle.  And I was shocked to discover my Schnapps has gone up about 200 potatoes, now that is inflation!!  Now after our usual baguette for lunch we have come down to the pool, I nearly thought we were not going to make it though as Jo and Lisa got stuck talking about E.R. - a simple solution though.  Carry on talking about it by the pool).  At about 6.30pm we realised we should be drinking, so we returned to the flat for drink and of course food.  A beautiful gourmet meal of chips and pasta.  After that, at about 10.30pm we got our glad rags on and headed for La Pineda Drink.  It was a tad strange because almost all of it was shut.  However, we persevered and everywhere soon opened.  And now it is my birthday - I am 21.
