We made it off of the farm and into Vinaros. Rode about 35 kilometers today on a freeway with semi trucks honking at us and giving us a thumbs up. They knew we were crazy and headed up some big grueling hills. Luckily there was alot of space to ride on the shoulder so we could stop at anytime and catch our breath. Slow and steady I kept telling myself. Seth had no problem for he is a fit kid and can handle anything. Joe kept us all encouraged and made the ride sound easy. He likes to fluff things out and make it not so terrible. Once we came to Vinaros, we tried to find a hostel but there wasn't any. Next thought a hotel. Cheapest one was 60 euro's but it was Joe's birthday so we took it. First thing was first. A nice hot shower since we hadn't had one in over a week. That's when you appreciate the little things in life. Next we headed out to the nicest restaurant in town on the beach for seafood paella. Funny cause we were the only one's in the restaurant being that's it's the off season of the year. Most places close in the winter and open again in spring for there's no tourism right now. Seafood paella, mussels in a wine sauce, crustini bread served with a garlic aioli, sliced cheese, thinly sliced cured ham, potato chunks in garlic aioli, calamari, sangria, and to top it off a white chocolate flan. Best meal ever. Expensive but so worth it to splurge. With our bellies full we walked around the quiet town and saw all the Christmas lights hanging in the streets. We spoiled ourselves with lounging at the hotel and watching tv, for there are channels that speak English.
