Friday was San Jose (Father´s Day) in Spain... a national holiday.... We spent the day with Jorge´s family. We met for a long lunch and then a nice stroll around the valley. A very typical family outing.
(The first picture is of stewed meat and chorizo. We went about 20 kilometers out of our way to have it.... Yes... this is what we ate BEFORE meeting everyone for lunch.... Don´t tell Jorge´s parents.....)
(And this is where Coco hung out while we were having lunch...)
I haven´t been home much this past week. And tomorrow I´m off to Madrid for a few days. I´ll catch up with you all soon.
P.S. You surprised me with your comments about my hair. (Thank you!) It has a mind of its own, and half the time I don´t even look in the mirror to save myself the stress ;) It´s funny, before I had kids, I had straight hair... smaller feet... and a bigger bra size.... facts I have no problem reminding them of when they start to get on my nerves...

Great pictures - amazing sites and lovely greens. Que buena pinta tiene el chorizo!!!!
Lovely way to spend Fathers Day. That meat and chorizo looks delicious - it must have been worth the 20k diversion! Lovely views of your walk too.
such a beautiful little village!
and this chorizo looks sooooo good!
I would come to Spain just for that stewed meat dish. ;)
Love those postboxes!
Have a great time in Madrid, Jeannette
That is funny because I had much smaller feet and a much smaller bra size which I desperately want back. The meal look delicious. Have a great weekend!
Me: Bigger boobs, bigger feet and a wonky pelvis :-)
Thanks for taking me to the country with you.
That looks like a great San Juan!
Looks like you had a great day.
:) Poor Coco! You have to give him a bit of chorizo;) Enjoy your week, enjoy Madrid!
Beutiful pictures Jane, but I think it's San Jose, because in Valencia we celebrate fallas because of it.
San Juan is on the 21st of June :)
Coco looks so cute in there, he seems very polite.
Big besos and hugs
you are so right... i was thinking about my nephew and put his name by mistake... besos!
your making me long for spain.
These pictures are amazing.. very typically Spanish, it's a talent of yours for sure.
and your hair... I know, my hair went crazy curly for about three years after having kids... I tame it with a flat iron every day now.
such pretty country. What are those little house on stilts?
I would kill for a bowl of stewed meat and chorizo right now. Looks. so. good.
A perfect day !
I love this set! And you are very funny! My feet grew, I have no boobs, and my hair changed color (I call it salt...). I hope your Madrid time is perfect.
Mmmmmmm. That food looks so good. I would have gone out of my way for that kind of fare, too!
lovely photos
What a quaint little place!!
Great photos as always. The meat and chorizo are making me hungry!
Are those artichokes in the 5th photo?
Such a lovely view! Thanks for sharing!
great pictures...and those little houses are fantastic.
enjoy madrid!
it's such a beautiful country and chorizo, yum. enjoy your trip!
Simply Spain. Oh so beautiful Jane.
And you are funny:)
Oh too funny!
Oh, what gorgeous, dreamy countryside! Take me along??
As for your hair, it is beautiful in its natural state. I've always had huge feet and unruly hair, and I've never even given birth. Count yourself lucky that your hair looks good in curls!
ps - I'd almost forgotten about "typical architecture" this week, but this is such a great idea, must work on it! I've got my work cut out for me the next couple days ;)
Your photo's are lovely and what a great way to spend Father's Day.
Happy week.
Wonderful pictures! Btw, straight hair is over-rated. Bra size however... not.
You're in Madrid??? I discover this morning.... too bad.
The cuts in the white houses, and the house on the crest of the hill, both wonderful pictures.
Oh my what a great surrounding! Beautiful shots!
Poor coco! Love his photo!
Lovely pictures -I guess you had a great day! Love//Eva Sweden
I so enjoy visiting your corner of the world and for the smiles. I do hope Miss Coco got a little scrap or two.
LOL... I use to have curly, curly hair. After coming out of the hospital over 2 years ago my hair is poker straight in the front, the sides wavey and curly in the back!!
so beautiful! coco looks jealous about not eating some of that chorizo! those country side photos make me miss living in france!
They are cabbages. But why Berasategui?
wow! such beautiful photos! what are those little houses?

I love that you had a pre-lunch-lunch (and I'm not talking about breakfast!). So glad to know I'm not the only one that does that on occasion. The chorizo and stewed meat looks amazing.

Lovely place!

Love the photos of the country side. Coco looks like she was wishing for some sausage hope she got some :) Enjoy your time in Madrid it is a great city.

What a wonderful way to spend a day! But, poor Coco...
don't your in-laws pop by the blog from time to time? check up on what their daughter-in-law is up to? ; )
looks delish, jane!
shallow as it may be, i miss my pre-kid bra size. i haven't used that (yet) against my children, but, jane, it's good to have someone to teach me how to do these things. thanks for the tip. your hair IS beautiful btw. you can thank them for that one. just sayin'.
Oh, you lucky gal! What beautiful country to be out in! Have a lovely time in Madrid!
Don't get me started on what these MODgirls have done to my body!!
Happy Day!
Hey Jane!! Coco looks pissed off. WHERE'S MY MEAT??
Hey, why 2 bowls of stew and 3 glasses that look like the same liquid? 2 fisted drinker?
Can't wait to see your architecture tomorrow. It's been pouring here and I'm likely to show the over flowing ponds and rivers heading for the buildings!! All my best, Jodi
Oohhh aperitivo! I love aperitivos specially outdoors (and yours look delicious!), funny about the shrinking bra-size, isn't it? I had always heard that the effect of maternity in bra-sizes was the opposite... Besos Jane!
I love the wooden little houses, are they letter boxes ??
Woow, great pictures! Very peaceful. I wish I could get out of the city to get some fresh air...
I really like colors!
love these!!!!
-well, about hair-yours is gorgeous! i just had MORE hair before and bigger boobs and...
nothing happened to my feet ???
Cracking up! Thanks for the giggles on a Sunday afternoon! Love Coco's expression!
