Just thought this morning we would take a wander down town with the camera and see what we came across. The sun was shining so why not. Picture of me right is in the "Plaza de la Concordia" which I guess you would say was the centre of town.The fountain is the centrepiece of the Plaza and the building behind is where we go for our spanish lessons.
This is our local "Centre de Salud" or Health Centre.
Walking along the high street, we came across this lovely puppy.
The pic below is of Bill and Gerry, a lovely couple who we met about a week ago. They are from Northumberland and have lived in Olvera at the bottom of our street for about 18 months now. They live right on the edge of the village and recounted when they found a snake winding its way down through the corrugated roof of their kitchen but which fortunately got stuck. After a mild panic and a rapid consultation with their spanish neighbour, the best advice given was to chop it's head off with a pair of loaned garden shears...........doesn't bear thinking about does it? Turned out to be a viper.
They've invited us round for a drink and also to see the massive scorpion that they've caught as well.....we can't wait!!
We were ambling down the high street just nosing into the gardens and stopped to view a couple tending to their plants. We commented on how nice it looked and next thing we know we have been invited in to have a closer look. They were both ever so friendly and so typical of the people we have met here. We explained that we were living in Olvera permanently and were promptly invited in for a coffee or drink next time we were passing.
We are so lucky, so lucky to have the opportunity to be where we are now!!.
