you actually suit the beard..you should keep it....My daughter in law sent me this today. Now I understand the giggling at the time. I had no idea she'd taken it.
At their place, I was sitting in a corner. Lights were down watching some holiday flick and I obviously fell asleep. Deep enough she was able to take my glasses off me and then put them back on.
The beard? Yeah, it's real. Lost an election bet and now I need to keep it through Christmas. Grandson stared a lot at first. Even though his Dad and uncles have beards he'd never seen me with one. Actually nobody has since I was in a dorm-floor beard growing "contest" back in school (mid-1970s).

This reminds me of our few stays in Southern Spain years ago. We were in Fuengirola. We loved to explore the nearby cities like Malaga,Torremolinos, Mijas, and Marbella. I enjoyed our stays in Spain. I had the pleasure of visiting Madrid, Barcelona and Alicante as well. I have very good souvenirs of Spain and its people as well as its history, architecture, food and charm.View attachment 380918

yes I know Benidorm..not somewhere that I like to be honest..... full of low class bars etc.....but the surroundiing areas Calpe etc are nice..it's about 100km's from my home@hollydolly Oh, that is so nice! When I went to Alicante, we visited the city and also stayed in Benidorm.
Alicante city is really nice... sadly Benidorm comes under the Alicante region.... which is 50km's away... and is often thought of as being the same place because the airport t is there..@hollydolly I did not care for Benidorm either. I had a free airline ticket to Alicante, so I went and visit both cities. Not a place I would pay to stay or visit again. This was also years ago off season but it was already very crowded.
I liked Alicante as well. I did not know that people would think of it as being one place.Alicante city is really nice... sadly Benidorm comes under the Alicante region.... which is 50km's away... and is often thought of as being the same place because the airport t is there..
yes they do because the address for benidorm is often stated as Benidorm, Alicante..which is technically correctI liked Alicante as well. I did not know that people would think of it as being one place.
