Olot, Day 4

Bike Route: Apartment to Espai Bici Olot Bike shop and back, 4 miles

Walk Route: Apartment to Mercado and back, Apartment to patisseria and back, 2.5 miles

Ken's tire was still soft this morning, so we biked to the EBO bike shop with our spare tire in hand. The proprietor was able to take the bike right in, put on the replacement, and get it all up and running in less than half an hour.

The next chore was getting more groceries at the Mercado. We splurged on local cheese, jelly, bacon, ground pork, vegetables, and homemade quiche, and stocked up on milk, sparkling water, and fresh-squeezed orange juice (my favorite).

Next was pizza lunch in a small plaza we hadn't yet visited. On the way back, we passed a patisseria with incredible looking cakes. After spending a little time on trip planning, we took a nap and then went back to the patisseria for "dinner." At our age, we don't have to worry about eating healthy, right?

It was a relaxing day. We feel a little guilty for kind of wasting it, but I guess we can't be full-time tourists 90 days straight. Sometimes we just need to be regular people who take a rest 😊.
