Showing our appreciation for good internet

Another excursion into Alicante today on the tram.  We got off at the last stop on the line and headed straight for a little cafe along a major thoroughfare to have breakfast.  We enjoyed croissants, tea and churros.  We have decided that churros just aren't as good as we remember them and are probably not going to order them anymore, but the croissants were excellent!  We should have ordered two of those instead.  This is the view of the street we had from the cafe, amazingly enough, there wasn't a single car passing when I took this picture.  That is extremely rare on this street.

From this cafe, we meandered slowly up the street.  We stopped in a bookstore and looked around for a little while.  The we came to the big department store called El Corte Ingles where we planned to buy a little plant.  Then we made our way to the store called Movistar which is the company that we use for our phones and internet.  We bought the plant to give to one of the employees there who has been so nice to us and so incredibly helpful.  We also wanted to ask her how to access our account online.  We waited a little while for her to wait on us, since she was with another customer but when she was finally free, she was so happy to see us and was so excited about her little plant.  We felt good about giving her the plant.  It's because of her that this time Guillermo and I each have our own little USB modems, and we both have unlimited internet.  That alone right there merits more than a meager little plant, but we had no idea what else we could do to show our appreciation without overstepping boundaries.  

From the Movistar store, we walked down some little side streets towards the direction of the castle in Alicante so that we could check some things out.  We found a little flower shop that was selling the exact same plant that we had given that employee at Movistar - only bigger and less expensive.  So,we know where we are going next time.  We'll probably give her another plant right before we leave Spain.

After our nice little walk around the streets of Alicante, we took a tram to a restaurant along the beach that we had been wanting to try.  It's the downside of trying new places, we were not impressed with the food at all.  Oh well, but now we know.  Then we walked back to the tram station and waited for the tram back to El Campello.  We took these pictures while we waited.

Looking intently at something in the distance.

How 'bout that hair, huh??

The high today got into the upper 60s.  That is still quite cool with the wind blowing off the water.  Even so, there were people on the beach in bathing suits and going in the water.  But not many.
