Hey Friends and Family!
This morning I decided to take a mini-vacation from sightseeing, a total change of pace. I boarded a regional train headed straight south to a small town called Gandia (I´d never heard of it before). Upon arrival I headed straight for the Information Office. They had a stack of dusty brochures on the area monestaries of historical signifance.... and a map of the bus route to the beach. Guess where I went??
The heavy surf pounded on the sand, clean and white and sparkly. The beach was bordered by a long broad boardwalk, along which --judging from the number of cafes and bars-- must be some kind of tourist mecca in the summertime.... But today, I had the beach practically to myself. And that suited me just fine :-)
After lunch at one of the few open establishments (popular for its location, since the food was clearly an afterthought), I strolled along the seashore until the bus arrived to bring me back to the train station, and back ´home´ to Valencia.
Tonight I will cook dinner for myself again in my little kitchen. Last night I made soft tacos, which turned out not half bad. Tonight I hope to improve on my receipe!
Love T

It is alway interesting going off the beaten path and doing some exploring. It sounds like a vacation of a lifetime. Love Dad
ReplyDeleteHow did you manage to get yourself a little kitchen? The little taco sounds pretty delightful I must say. I'll bet its a feeling of power to just be able to leap on a train at your leisure. At least....I'm presuming you were able to use the EURAILPASS for the train...maybe the bus too. Pictures of the beach? Was it sandy or rocky like the coast along Costa del Bravo? Love Mother
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand....it seems to me that a beach with sand "...clean, white, sparkly" must have nice clean white sparkly sand. Sigh. Do you think your mom could read your note a LITTLE more carefully? Love love, mom
ReplyDeleteHey! I can answer questions in the posting! Cool. In answer, very sandy beaches. And the EurRail is useful practically everywhere (not buses) but I usually have to pay a reservation supplement for the direct routes --it´s usually just a few Euros. Still a great deal!
