We got here a couple of days ago. We pulled in just before a horrific downpour started. We were getting ready to drop anchor and a nice British fellow, Terri, pointed us towards one of his moorings. He is letting us stay free of charge and we found free internet so we are pretty happy. He stopped by the boat to visit and we found out he is a true treasure hunter. He is a professional scuba diver and he and another fellow came across a bunch of Spanish coins from the Napolean era using a metal detector, about 60 feet below the surface. He has sold most of them on EBAY and only had one onboard to show us. As we were walking through town, one of the stores had just re-stocked their gelato display (see photo). I don't know how everyone in Europe stays so thin, they have ice cream EVERYWHERE! This is a big fishing port. There is a fish market every afternoon around 5pm when the fishermen come in and then they all leave around 4:30am (they rock the boat). We had our new friends, Franc and Andrea, over for supper last night. They are on S/V Can Drac from NYC. We enjoyed great company and a beautiful sunset to boot. They left for Barcelona today but we have made plans to see them there as well.

Oh Jodi, life looks wonderful! We are back cruising again (thanks for the link to us on your blog). After we leave in November, we will probably not be back in the USA until late summer 2010, and then we will be back via airplane, not boat, so we will miss your home trip this winter. Let's keep in touch. Maybe when we are all old we can meet face to face again! Love to you both, Jenny
