I know I've been quiet and it is because I have been on holiday. I had my second set of guests (you know who you are!). They were absolutely lovely and decided to stay an extra night, they even braved my food. Half an hour after they left on the Saturday morning I was in the car with the teenagers heading south to the beach for a week of...um...beach. Here's a picture of a lovely flower I saw growing not far from the beach. I don't know what it is but I thought it was really pretty.
We went to Port Barcares and stayed on a lovely and friendly campsite called La Bahia Club. I'd never visited that bit of coast before, I'm glad I did. The beaches were beautiful with views of the Pyrenees as a backdrop. Some days there was a strong wind, we loved watching the waves. Here are the teenagers feeling the wind in their hair.
I'd spotted a restaurant that claimed to be built of old soft drink cans...I had to visit so we had lunch there before heading home. It was called Mex-i-Can...get it! It was built out of cans, very beautifully. They used 20,000 cans and it took them 3000 man/woman hours to build it. It was right on the beach, the food was of course Mexican...Now I've never been to Mexico but if that is what they are eating there I might have to go and live there. It was lovely food, the people running it were very friendly and it had great sea views. If you're ever in the area I so recommend it...Just don't tell me because I'll be so jealous!
