[Leica] Nathan's PAD 7/3/2021: a Sunday drive with my daughter

[Jim Nichols]

You got some nice images, including two nice ones of Monica, but is that 
a manual shift knob I see in the first one?  That's a tough way to learn 
to drive!

So the last two weekends we have been driving around to let her have some more practice. Today was a rainy day so I could not go for my usual Sunday bike ride. Instead, Monica and I took a long Sunday drive, which gave her the opportunity to drive on the motorway and also curvy mountain roads, in the rain—good experience.

They sell retail and also to many restaurants in Alicante, a business that has obviously suffered during the past year. So I was pleased to see the shop well stocked and doing well apparently, and so was Monica:

Perhaps they had to lay off the woman who was helping Lili with the cheese, so he needs to pitch in. I stuck the lens through the window separating the shop from the cheese workshop and started snapping:
