Around the Town

Over the weekend I went sightseeing with the family. Thursday and Friday were a holiday for students and workers. Don't ask me what the holiday was for because I have no idea. I asked the Mom and she just said it was a holiday...so there you have it. Friday we went to the Sea (not the ocean, but the Mediterranean Sea) and walked the boardwalk. Everyone was out because it was a nice, sunny day plus a holiday. There was no parking whatsoever. It reminded me of our beaches. It took a good 15min to find a spot. However, on the sand they have lounge chairs set-up for people. It's like Cancun all over again. We definitely need to add this to our beaches. Saturday I went to downtown Reus. There are shops up and down the streets. Apparently, Saturday is the day to see and be seen. Everyone was out and the shops were very crowded. Sunday everything is closed. i also found out that during the week the shops close mid-day for 3 hours. Plus things seem to close down around 7pm. What a life!! Too bad we don't do this in Americia. No wonder people are less stress here. I really enjoyed the atmosphere. It was like everything I imagined when I thought of Europe. The town is small and everything is very close together...from the shops to the church. Above all the shops are apartments. Some are very old looking with some great architecture.
