Cadaques dreaming...

---

Driving the too-narrow winding road as if in the mirror
Sea mist rolling over rooftops
Dark roast almonds and juicy fat raisins from a market stall
A midnight pasteing braying donkey waking the dogs
The laughter of bronze bellied children playing in boats
The heat of the tiles in Dalí and Gala's garden
Fast noisy motorscooters in narrow white lanes
Colour so intense you could taste it
Sea-fresh sardines and mussels and deep red tomato salad
Billowing proud Catalan flags
The slap of sandalled dancing feet in the Platje
Swimming bouyed in the floataceous Mediterranean
Surrealistic rock formations at Cap de Creus
Surprise icy Cerveza sin Gluten on the little beach
A whitewashed room whose walls need no pictures

This is Dave and Lou's Cadaques dreaming.

Cadaques
must go there! i love the sound of those 'sandelled dancing feet' - but in my romantic visual, the feet are rhythmic and beautiful (and not socked)...

sandals sin socks
tanned and vital and of all ages- not a sock or varicose vein in sight! Just travelled to Granada today. Google 'Calle Hospital de Perlegrolos no 4" - that's where we have a small apartment ! Right in the thick of things! Our host Christian just gave us the run through on the area- our tired minds are swimming with facts! Tomorrow is another day!

Beautiful poetry and envious of the warmth
Hello there Lou and Dave Sounds absolutely fantastic - I can taste your words and really envy you the warmth Very cold here - we went to watch Winston play for the All Whites against the Solomon Islands in Auckland - it was wet and bitterly cold. Greater love hath no family for their nephew. Rreminded me of dragging you two out ot that game in the MCG I have just spent two days in Wanganui - didn't get to the Bridge to Nowhere but I was close and thought of you again Looking forward to catching up in Melbourne when you get back Love Susan Kevin and Waimarama
