8.12.10 Gran Canaria

Tuesday 7th threw up a few interesting things/comments.  The first involved a discussion about the numerous bank holidays in Spain, and the prevalence of Saints' days - whatever their various names.  Reference was made to one such day by Maria, as follows:

"Some stupid woman who never had a screw"

I also had an exchange with Marc, as follows:

TMWSC: "Do they still do camel rides in Maspalomas?"
Marc: "Yes, but now it's called the whorehouse!"

Finally, whilst standing at the counter in a coffee shop, I observed the speedy arrival of a silver Toyota van.  It pulled up outside the entrance, and a young chap walked quickly in, carrying a flat box, within which were four cucumbers.  That's right, this was a delivery of just four cucumbers and I was (and still am) baffled as to why it was necessary for these to be delivered in some sort of emergency procedure by courier.
