We got there around 7:30 and checked into our hotel and then we decided we weren't really hungry for dinner yet so we wanted to walk around the town for a little and buy a bottle of Cava and watch the sun set from our balcony (How romantic, I know. Do you want to barf hearts yet?) So we left the hotel and started walking around the HUGE town. Sooo exaggerating! We literally felt like the only people who were alive in the whole town, well except for one lady on a bike who we got in her way twice. It was pretty humorous. All the stores were closed and we didn't think we'd be able to find a grocery store open to buy some Cava, but luckily we found one. We found the Cava and there was a bottle of Cava called Bertha! I didn't buy it because it was too expensive. We don't like to spend more than 3 euros on wine and Cava... cheap I know. We headed back to the hotel and sat on the balcony drinking the Cava, watching the sun set and enjoying each other's company and conversation. It was perfect. Just what we needed. Its been crazy here with papers and tests the past few weeks and we have had a hard time finding time for just us. And since we have not many days left it was wonderful.
So finally around 11 we decided we wanted to eat dinner. We asked the people at the front desk for a good restaurant and they sent us to this small Italian place called El Nino. We walked in but we thought they might be closed because no one was in there at all. They were open so we sat down and then more people came, I guess in Tossa de Mar they eat dinner really late! Oh and guess who owns the restaurant - the lady on the bike that we kept getting in the way of! We all had a laugh about that one. Oh small towns....
We both got pizzas that were soooo good! After I went to Rome I fell in love with really thin crust pizza and this was really thin! So yummy! We ordered Sangria and it was ridiculously strong! We only had a 1/2 liter but we were definitely feeling a little tipsy. Dinner was great though.
Since this town was so small, it wasn't tourist season nothing was open so we decided to just to back to the hotel. We felt like old people because we definitely went to sleep at 1. It was lame-o. But the sleep was definitely needed.
On Friday we woke up around 11 and got ready and checked out. It was poopy weather because it was rainy and only in the low 60s. We walked towards the beach and it was really cool because they had a boardwalk kind of thing with a bunch of restaurants. We decided to just go to the restaurant and sit outside so we could see the beach at least. We ordered meals and Sangria and just chilled out. I brought my book of crosswords, so I whipped it out and we did a few.... I felt like an old married couple but it was fun. We ended up sitting at the restaurant for two hours and after a liter of Sangria decided we had probably had enough. We headed back into town and it was still cool and rainy so we decided to just head back to Barcelona.
It was a really nice little get away and it was definitely nice to have some alone time with no other distractions. Good job Mike on planning it all!
