Life: Idiotropic

A day of shopping in Valencia with a friend.  A day of running in and out of shops and boutiques that are usually fabulous, most often tempting, but today...  just not.  Black, gray, white.  Spring isn’t here yet.  The sun and birds are heralding spring, but not the shops.  

We were depressed by mid day coffee.  Two ladies ready to shop and not a bag in hand.  Nothing even tempted us.  Nothing was cute enough to make the effort to try on.  I barely checked prices. 

Corte Ingles: department store and last ditch effort to find spring.   And there is was.  COLOR!  Greens, pinks, luscious corals.  So we weren't really crazy? 

Spotty though.  Here and there.  Some departments still basked in black and white.  But my favorite, Desigual, came through for me and one flippy skirt later, I was walking lighter.

I guess in Spain, they aren’t quite ready for spring, but bring on the brights.  We need color.

A day in a beautiful city and I leave without a photo save one. 

Lunch at the Lambrusqueria.  The menu could arguably be the best bargain in town.  6.95 Euros and I got a generous helping of salad with the freshest ingredients, a nice hunk of lasagna, and a coffee.  Yum.
