Picasso in A Coruna

Hola,
  The bar just an arm’s reach from our finger pier plays the best music, at a really reasonable volume from about 6pm until 9pm.  Perfecto!!!!

Two unrelated stories and more Coruna photos

Arrived in La Coruna

Hola,
  I can only remember being seasick one other time in my life and that was in 1970, my first evening at Outward Bound.  We’d driven from Amherst, MA to Rockland, ME many hours, met the OB people who gave a brief orientation and then t…

Coruna Spain

Hola,
   Today is our final day in La Linea.  We made one last trek to Mercadonar Supermarket and loaded up on “water with gas” as they say here.  And bread, eggs, chips…  We have enough food for several weeks but our pas…

We visit the Top of the Rock

Hola,
  Yesterday we took the cable car to the Top of the Rock.  Here’s the story.

It was a lovely clear day and most boat chores are completed, so we took the day to go to Gibraltar.  We first went to The Rock taking the cable car …

Some photos of La Linea

Hola
   So it looks as if we’ll be here another week because the weather gods, very kind to us on our way here, are being less kind about our wanting to leave.  But when you cruise you have to play by the rules of the weather gods or y…
