By the Sea…repeat. Repeat with additional of beautiful. Raise your glass and drink with your companions.
We arrived in rain, at deep dusk, after a two hour drive turned into three and a half. So don’t feel surprised that we headed to our rooms instead of the beach.
Ahhh. Morning. A different story. The rain was gone. Locals were walking dogs. (One man on skateboard with dog on leash caused a double take.) It was exactly right for a short walk before breakfast.
Wear shoes on this beach. Stones of multiple sizes have been rinsed, and washed, and smoothed by years of waves. Shells left by sea critters blend in with the rocks and sport sharp edges where broken.
Due south and out of sight you’ll encounter France. Turn west and the next land will likely be Boston.
English channel on a peaceful morning.
