So, we walked today! Just walked, observed, talked and were silent. Just curious, is there anything else going on in the world? Nevermind. Please don’t answer that. I’m enjoying my world withRead more

After lunch it was difficult to find the marked route, which was more direct to the town where I would stay. So again I meandered over to the ocean and just kept the water on my left. This took longerRead more

So pretty
Traveler Do you hike along to coast for a long time? Gorgeous! How are the crowds vs. the long route?
