Our good friend Pam just left us yesterday after visiting us in Valencia for the weekend. Pam arrived on Thursday afternoon and after freshing up we went to meet Mia on the terrace of Lisboa. It was great seeing each other again, last time I saw Pam was in September on a boat in the Amsterdam canals.
