After a good night’s sleep we awoke to partly sunny skies
and a few puffy clouds hanging over the mountain. We need toast and coffee and
found the Bar Saioa open for business. Hit the spot nicely and they are open
until 1100PM for late night food after Dave & Joyce arrive this evening.
Paul walked across the street to the Chinese Bazar looking
for a computer mouse to replace the one left in Zaragoza by mistake. Ultimately
we found a mouse at the Simply department store on the by pass road. 1.99 euros
wired for the travel netbook. They want 35 euros for the wireless version which
we skipped.
We drove up to the cemetery to visit Miguel’s grave and to
say hello to our old friend with a fresh rosey pink flower plant. The grounds
crew were busy cutting and weeding as the end of the month is the fiesta to
honor the families departed members.
Paul wanted to take a photo or two and so we headed to
Arizcun for lunch and a photo opt. No lunch as our usual was locked tight on
Monday lunchtime. We drove out of town down the the four corners intersection
with the road to France and spotted an Asador Ordoki, new to us which, Paul promptly butchered , by calling it the
Onkey Donkey place. The young chap behind the bar lead us into the bar room
filled with 3 long rows of bench tables and several smaller 4 tops to have a
seat. The 3 boys waiting tables were not terribly organized running back and
forth and into the kitchen. The head cook was tending to huge steak chops on
the barbecue grill that were at least 3” inches thick but tasty looking. We
watched him wield a fierce meat cleaver on a huge rack of beef!
Paul had garbanzos and pork chops, Jane had ensalada Russa
and a beef stew. The food was outstanding we both like the Okey Dockey for
sure. Still early afternoon, time for a quick siesta before David sends a text
that they are in the air from Gatwick to Bilbao Spain. We got a text that they
have landed in Bilbao now for the suitcases and rental car in order to hit the
road. Just an hour and a half, no traffic and they made to the Posada. 2015
Hrs. Dave & Joyce are at the Posada looking to join up with us.
We had a nice reunion and headed of for tapas at Bar Saioa and a chat to catch up
with ole friends. We talked, we ate, talked some more, ate and drank some more
and finally decided at 2300, stomachs full, that it was time to call it a day. We
drove back to the posada to drop off Dave and Joyce and we returned to the
apartment. We are tired!
Buenos Noches all!
