Apparently they had rain while we were gone, and all the plant life flourished, but you can tell the difference in the air. And the ocean water at beaches is special. I always find it soothing.Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717808259082655272.post-3617997506230053472018-06-08T19:09:35.497-07:002018-06-08T19:09:35.497-07:00I love revisiting places to see how they look at d...I love revisiting places to see how they look at different times.

There's such a special feel to that part of the coast that I hope came through. Solitude, but not in a desolate way. A little wild.

Thanks for visiting.<br /><br />Rosi, that lavender house captured my attention so much, I actually took about five picture of it from different angles. There are houses like that here and there all over the parts of Galicia we go to.<br /><br />Jess, I'm glad you liked the pictures. I always feel so restored when we go to a beach, too. Not one of the swimming/sunbathing beaches, but just those walk-olong beaches where it's you and the sounds and smells of the sea. Priceless.<br /><br />Kate, it's interesting that there are cathedral beaches like that all over. There's something about sea and rocks together that creates such a lovely scene.<br />Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717808259082655272.post-29480135926382608422018-06-03T15:28:35.875-07:002018-06-03T15:28:35.875-07:00What a beautiful place!

There is something about beaches that makes me feel inspired I write a lot of poetry at beaches.<br /><br />Thanks, Mark, for the good wishes. We've really enjoyed this trip a lot.<br /><br />MIrka, "When a beach is still a beach" So well said! That really sums it up. There are tourists, but not the way we are used to tourists. <br /><br />Elephant's Child, I really love your description: Heartbalm at it's best. Absolutely. <br /><br />Kenda, from what we are learning via other friends who have traveled other parts of Spain, there is quite a difference everywhere you go. Yet all of the reports are positive. We haven't been to southern Spain, but we hear it is beautiful.<br />Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717808259082655272.post-59943047761429434012018-06-01T13:25:16.594-07:002018-06-01T13:25:16.594-07:00Enjoyed pictures of your travels once again!
