As we got into Spain, I had the worst experience of my life. It started to rain a little and then it started to rain a lot, and then it started to rain so heavy I couldn't see. It grew dark and the a fierce elctrical storm started. This lasted hours. My car was struck by lighening. the battery died and the olights etc went off. as it was, all the lights ouytside the car had gone too so we were driving in darkness. My lights etc came back on very quicjkly, but outside it was still dark. I was reall scared by this time. I manged to pull off the m/way. Unfortunately, I chose a hill area to do this. I couldn't see. I parked behind a building and we sat there for about hour. Lights came back on around us, but the storm was still raging. The building I chosen to seek shelter from strom turned out to be a petrol station!!!!!! Anyway, we eventually foudn our way to Cardedeu and they had a blackout. we got to our hotel which the lady we were visiting booked us into. it was dreadful!!! The only food we could find to eat was Chinese. the following mronign, we went to the house of the lady we had gone to see. Beautiful home, beutifuyl lady and terrible dogs.I was soooo disappointed. Not only were they bad examples of the breed, but not good temepreed either(which is the FIRST consideration, always). I got bitten on my left arm. The blackness has only just disappeared. Patty took us to eat. the food was glorious. fish realltasted like fish. I had squid and octopus. My olther being Spanish, I felt verry much at home. The tlaking was loud and arms waved. Juct like me. No wonder Brits think when i am excited that i am angry/agressive. Not at all. Just Latin. It was great not to feel inhibited and have no one think I was mad. (by the way, veggies in France and Spain really tasted good. carrot tasted like carrot).
