The title says it all.  In the interests of full disclosure, it’s really older women.  OK.  OK.  Not just older, but old.  And truth be told, it’s not women, but a woman.  I guess adore is a pretty strong word too.  Appreciate is probably a more apt description.  That’s about enough full disclosure for me.

The brief interaction I had today put an extra bounce in my step, and reinforces my love of Spain, and Almuñécar in particular.

You barely make me out, but I’m there.

What happened?

I was running some errands near the center of town.  As I was walking by a store front, a voice called down to me, “¿Qué hora es?”  I looked up, and there was a little old lady looking at passersby, and generally just people watching.  She asked me again, and it took me a split second to figure out that yes, she was actually talking to me, and she was asking me what the time was.

I called up to her, “Son las diez y veinte.”  She couldn’t hear me and did the international sign of “I can’t hear you” by cupping her hand to her ear.  I spoke louder and clearer and told her (in Spanish) that it’s 10:20.

With that, she thanked me and blew me a kiss!  Yep, that made my day.  So I suppose that I should change the title to “There’s An Old Lady in Almuñécar that Appreciates Me“.  I think I’ll stick with the original.
