Sous Chef in Blue

"Sous Chef in Blue", Oil on Linen Panel, 8"x8"

Spent a week in Arcos de la Fontera, Spain this spring. Snaped this picture of a young woman off to work at Bar la Carcel. A very interesting White Hill Town where the streets were only about eight feet wide. Some were close to six feet wide, like where we almost got our car stuck! Where the streets were wide enough, the bars and cafes would throw out some tables and chairs on the side of the street leaving just enough room for a car to pass. The sides of most cars were scratched and dented from trying to navigate the narrow and winding streets.

We spent five days in Arcos de la Fontera. We drove in with a car! Didn't realize that the "streets" would be that narrow, smallest being close to six feet wide. At seven and a half or eight feet wide, traffic went both ways. Most cars were scraped down both sides. The smarter people drove scooters, most of which were Vespas. This one was a Beshi.

We drove from Toledo to Arcos de la Frontera, Spain in two days. The scenery was tremendous. Rolling hills covered with mostly wheat, sunflowers or olives. Occasionally there would be grazing land, forests, and castles or windmills.
