Down Day

Today we chose not to do a lot of things like sight seeing or wine tasting. Instead we took a 5 or 6 mile hike up the valley to see a waterfall then drove to Shangra La for lunch.  



Lunch was an adventure as no employees spoke English. The waitress wrote the menu on her pad then asked her son and several other diners if they spoke English. Between them and our limited understanding of Spanish we placed our order for what we thought would be pork ribs or beef steak with salad and French fries. We interpreted correctly and had a lovely lunch. 


The rest of the afternoon and evening were spent in the pool or hot tub, reading or playing cards.  Dinner was a grilled steak and good wine.
