A quiet day today but once again we had surprising meetings with people we either knew or had connections to.
We started in our den with the fireplace and coffee and then walked down to town. Taking a new way down, we went past a magnificent house and stopped to admire it. The owner, Roger, came out and we later learned he is the husband of Rosanna who we've met many times at La Organica restaurant, one of our favorite eating spots. (Gabriella is his young daughter whose photograph appears on one of my earlier blogs.) There is a website at www.casaangelitos.com.
Roger was on his way out but invited us to roam around and see the house interior. Casa Angelitos is a bed and breakfast and is another lovely home, full of amazing artifact: whimsical and magical. We met Lulu there from Zomorra, and Edward eating his breakfast on one of the many terraces. This has to be one of the friendliest places on the earth!
We left the house and then bumped into Tony from Montreal who helped us find a camera shop yesterday, so I had to take a photo of him too!
Stopping at Johfrej, a Mexican chocolate shop, we bought very yummy chocolates.
Finally, back in Atascadero, we went to the buffet at El Pueblecito, a boutique hotel near our new villa. More friendly people, especially Antonio our waiter, and then Anita from Leamington Spa selling her lovely jewelry and silk coats. So lovely to meet a fellow Brit at any time, but Anita is very special and her wares are beautiful. She makes the jewelry and the silk coats are made in Shanghai, unique and special. The photos do not do the jewelry justice. Alexa had purchased one of the coats and she appears in it in an earlier blog.
The fun never ends here and I am beginning to feel like I belong here! Oh no!
