July 19th - Another day, another destination to get us closer to Cartagena. This time we left Calpe at 9:40am – a treat to not have such an early start as we aren’t going that far today. We decided to stop at Villajoyosa as it looked like it had a good marina and it was in a good location for the remainder of our travels along the Spanish coast working our way west. We checked into Club Na... Read Full Entry

Spain
Finally was able to get to the blog...I started it 4 or 5 times and interrupted. I pray your Thanksgiving went well and not too stressful. Mine was a very quiet as my brother in law stayed in Pa with his son who came from Florida for that week. That is great for him, but I missed his company when I went to my brother's house for turkey. All good and moving on. This marina where the Tsamaya is "resting" looks like a great location. The buildings exude beautiful history, typical of old Spain. I find the stone appealing, more so than cement or block. At any rate, I'm sure you will enjoy your stay there for the winter, and the temp will be more to your liking...probably highs in 50's, lows close to 30. At any rate, I doubt that there will be any humidity...although, heat and humidity sound pretty good right now. Most of my leaves are off the lawn, I can never get them all. Maybe I need a huge vacuum,...does Hoover make a lawn vacuum? LOL. With cooler temps, my crows have returned and enjoying their hotdogs again. I found the deal for hotdogs at Walmart,...a full pound for $1.12. That is a steal!! I NEVER eat hotdogs and would never be tempted be this particular brand. Bill took me to Michigan to meet his soldier buddy, and Frank took us through a pig processing plant. YUCK....couldn't eat ham for years, never cozied up to bologna or hotdogs again. The one thing I do enjoy coming from those animals is bacon...not a lot, but pretty sure a BLT requires looking past what I witnessed. Funny the way the brain has so much influence on our behavior and prejudices...well, not so funny, just a fact. As Christmas approaches, hoping you have a good time with family and friends. Don't stress, that is not what the season is supposed to be even tho most ignore that. As you prep for your departure, may you find peace and calmness so you can enjoy the process. What is your tentative day of departure? Sorry for the late response,...I will NEVER ignore your blogs... and oh yes...those jellyfish look menacing. Take care and stay well, sending love and hugs and Merry Christmas. Cyndie
