The Rain in Spain Falls Mainly in Fuenjirola

My mom got us a timeshare at Costa del Sol resort in Fuejirola for the week of Christmas. Unfortunately it rained for 8 days straight. And when it wasn't raining it was super windy. We were trapped in our hotel room (nice, but small and poorly sealed so there were pools of water on the floor everyday). We ended up playing a lot of card games. We did get a chance to swim a few times during the week and luckily there was a kids club every day. We watched more TV in the time we spent in Fuejirola than we probably did the entire six months we were in Spain. Christmas itself was fun. The kids opened their presents, I made a couple roast chickens with potatoes and carrots, gravy, and roast cauliflower. We drank mosto and Collin made a cake and we also had tons of turron.

Collin and I did go out on a date to the resort restaurant and

Our only outings were to the mall and grocery store. It was raining so hard that Collin didn't feel comfortable driving in the rain and I didn't blame him. Collin bought a Christmas lottery ticket and faithfully watched TV to see if he won. He didn't, of course.

If only we had had decent weather, our vacation would have been a blast. The day my mom left was sunny and beautiful. After Collin dropped her off at the train station we went to a flea market and bought some scarves. The kids also played at a cool playground shaped like one of Christopher Columbus' ships. Then we went on to Ronda.
