Trinkets for Tourists

Once the Little King rolled out of bed and after I had walked the hound it was time for some more of those nasty exercises, you know the ones that give you a hot flush that lasts the duration of your pain and causes your body to expel fluid faster than you can wipe the drips, yep it was HIIT time again, even before the fist round my limbs were bitching, thighs shaking and arms trembling but I ploughed through and only because Prodigy was blaring in the background, I once remember a friend telling me that she had been in the gym with someone who's music was so slow and blasting out throughout her workout that she was quite melancholy by the time she was finished, me I like thumping to get the blood pumping. We finished without falling and stretched to within an inch of our short limbs, obviously mine were the shortest, and then it was shower and shop time. 

The tourist area towards the old port was where we headed, we took our lunch in LaBoca  to get the energy levels up as they were flagging in the heat and before our trinket dash, just one street and all presents and sunglasses to boot were purchased we were on a roll, the only thing to do was head to Debenhams for some supplies and then back up the road to our sun loungers as we kept hearing them calling our names above the hum of the pedestrians and traffic.

Once home we settled down on our sun beds and  toasted our bodies, the Little King is still trying for the golden look but still only managing purlescent with a touch of freckles, we read our respective books and lay in the sun until it disappeared by which time the stomachs were empty and beginning to complain so supper was made and then it was time to sit down for movie night, 'Philomena' a story of a young Irish girl, pregnant, abandoned and left in an Abbey for unwed mothers, a really good movie portrayal of the plight of young mothers and their babies that were adopted to mainly American step parents. Of course as always there is an awful lot of artistic license to the film, but none the less a powerful adaptation of a harrowing but common events in the Catholic churches history.
