Costa Brava Greetings

 .

Our time oat the Costa Brava was simply amazing. We saw so much, enjoyed the tranquility of our small holiday resort Calella de Palafrugell, explored, hiked, relaxed, and feasted.

If Once You Have Slept on an Island 

 

If once you have slept on an island 

You’ll never be quite the same; 

You may look as you looked the day before 

And go by the same old name, 

You may bustle about in street and shop; 

You may sit at home and sew, 

But you’ll see blue water and wheeling gulls 

Wherever your feet may go. 

 

You may chat with the neighbors of this and that 

And close to your fire keep, 

But you’ll hear ship whistle and lighthouse bell 

And tides beat through your sleep. 

Oh, you won’t know why, and you can’t say how 

Such change upon you came, 

But – once you have slept on an island

You’ll never be quite the same! 

 

Rachel Field (1894–1942)

As you can probably imagine, I took hundreds of pictures. So, there will be one or two in-depth reports in the coming years. Now, as always, I need to let the impressions sink in, get back home, and get back to everyday life, strengthened and motivated.
