Default Leisure time

What do you do with your free time? I like to walk, and think nothing of heading out in the morning and wandering around for hours. I stop and rest once in a while, or go into a shop and attack the staff with my poor Spanish. I usually pick up a new word and try and use it again later in the walk. At one word a day, my vocabulary is not increasing much.

A lot of people seem to find organized activities to participate in, but we don't golf or play tennis or any of the standard retired folks stuff.

Since we've been here I've been taking my camera with me more, and I'm getting a bit more interested in photography.

I'm fairly new, so I still enjoy everyday things like finding that stuff has different names here, or getting shocked when I forget and order a kilo of something when I wanted a pound (or half a kilo).

I try to go fishing as much as possible. We go fishing, cycling and try to do as many outdoor activities as possible. Indoors is great but the reason you move abroad is to enjoy this aspect more - depends on where you move to I suppose....
