It will take a little getting used to but I have no doubt that we will adapt very quickly.<br /><br />To be totally honest there really isn't very much to do here in Torrevieja unless you love sitting or strolling along the beach or wining and dining. We have gotten out and have done lots of walking but tomorrow we are outta here and headed inland where we think it will be more our style.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-37924038136866175912017-01-07T22:09:35.950-05:002017-01-07T22:09:35.950-05:00Louis is definitely going to make Sherman jealous....Louis is definitely going to make Sherman jealous.
