Meeting Generous People

We rode from La Rabita to Calahonda on a hot sunny day. A few hills but not many. We found a tiny town in between and made lunch on the boardwalk. It was so hot out that we decided to jump in the ocean. The boardwalk was empty so I stripped down completely nude and jumped in. It was freezing cold since it's still winter. It was so revitalizing, I needed a cigarette afterwards. We washed our chonees (underware) and socks in the ocean then hung them out to dry on our bicycles. Dried in no time for how hot it was. Afterwards, we pressed on. We pushed ourselves too far. Only said 7 kilometres to Calahonda so we thought no big deal. It was 7 kilometres up hill on the N-340 with high winds. I walked and cried almost the whole way. My legs were done. My arms toast. I have what they call carpal tunnel in both arms. A few minutes into cycling and my hands fall asleep. I take turns riding with one hand and switch off n on to get the feeling back in them. When I'm going up hill especially in the wind, my arms ache so much that I have to take breaks. Here lately we've been riding in heavy winds. My arms aren't getting any relax times at all. I've been going on 3 days now with barely any sleep at night due to my shoulders being in pain.
We made it slowly but surely due to me, to Calahonda right before the rain hit again. We made it through the "Beast From The East" storm last week. Now we have another storm coming in now. We're sitting under a shelter at a abandoned house on the beach with a couple from Sweden who's in a caravan. Playing music as it pours, while fixing a guy's slipper for exchange of a BBQ dinner. Ways to wait out a storm. We just need to find shelter tonight for the storm should go on for 2 more days.
The couple from Sweden cooked us up a delicious BBQ. We had chorizo sausages, hot dogs, potatoes, salad, and bread. I don't even remember the last time we had BBQ on a grill. The guy also gave Joe 5 euro's for fixing his slipper and bought a leather bracelet from me. On top of that they donated a propane tank for our stove. We were talking about how hard it is to get a Primus gas tank. In Spain, we can only purchase one at a store called Decathalon. It's a chain that carries sporting goods. From low end to high end items. The couple made our day. They even topped us off with wine, chocolate, Swedish coffee, and gingerbread cookies. We never even knew their names but super generous people. Never know what will come of your day. Thanks again you two.
