Mornings in Alicante

As many of you know Miki is an inveterate morning walker. As such, she observes and sometimes photographs the early goings on.

The city of Alicante seems to put a lot of effort into keeping things clean.  There are water trucks with a high pressure hoses manned by city workers that make their rounds through the neighborhoods spraying the sidewalks and streets. The sidewalk sweeper machines are also quite frequently seen. There are workers  with brooms and jumbo dustbins who manually sweep the sidewalks; they also empty the small trash receptacles which I suspect are mainly filled with doggie poop bags as I see LOTS of dog walkers (most of them are responsible picker-uppers).

  

If I decide to walk along the beach-side promenade there’s another whole set of activities: sunrise, sunrise watchers, sunrise photo takers, runners, walkers, pole-walkers, muscle beach, sunrise yoga, employees getting the beach bars ready, treasure hunters, and more.

 

  

 

Needless to say, the morning walk is always interesting and entertaining.

Post script: We are a step closer to obtaining our national ID cards. Dennis had his appointment this past week and will have his card one month from the date of the appointment. We have been postponing trips outside of Spain until we got our cards, but after September, look out Europe, here we come!

Salud.
