The excitement is over and I have to come back down to earth now and carry on......
but ....... I have lots of things to enjoy thinking about and will do so for a very long time. It was the most wonderful birthday ever. The most wonderful birthday present ever too!!!
Thank you so much everyone for your birthday wishes. I do wish I could have shared my happiness with all of you. My sisters were only with me for five days and then they were gone again ....five much too short days!
We wined and dined :-
 |
| Cookie and Great Auntie H |
at our favourite restaurant El Varadero and although they had both been to Alicante before I managed to grab a few hours from work to show them some of my favourite places in the city
turning back to take photos of the Miradors in this old building....
My sister B said she wanted a knocker for her new front door in NSW and she liked this one....
Unfortunately it was on this door ....
which was the entrance to this ......
monument or rather San Nicholas Cathedral .....so sorry B!!!!
The weather was absolutely perfect!!!
However the thrill and excitement hasn't dispersed totally as Sr P and I have quietly celebrated our 42nd Wedding anniversary today.
Thank you all once again for your very kind words and best wishes
Amanda :-)

I'm so glad you had fun with your family, it just makes your birthday extra special. Looks like you had quite a few sights to see and share. My husband turns 60 this year too, and I'm trying to plan ahead for something that will fit the occasion.

PS hope Sr P is coping with the early exit of Spain from the World Cup - England also out...but that's not an issue as we support Brazil!!
