just like I had never left.
It's crazy hot in LA today, 100 degrees or so, just like the day that I arrived in Spain.
Here I am in my brother's back yard with my hair blowing in the hot wind up that comes up from North Africa every afternoon.
And here's my brother's house in a not very attractive photo....it's actually much bigger and better than it looks in this picture. (obviously, no one will be hiring me as a photographer for Architectural Digest any time soon)
And the huge lawn on the bluffs above the Atlantic Ocean.
The view south is of the ancient port of Cadiz, the oldest city in Europe.
And water, water everywhere
But the shore just below is unavailable for use due to security reasons....so no private beach.
Luckily, there was a lovely public beach adjacent to the compound where my brother lives, easily accessible by bike, so that's where I spent my days.
More photos to come.

I'm so glad your posting photos. What a wonderful location for a home! Oh, I'm jealous! You look beautiful and relaxed. The ocean just has that effect, doesn't it?
My word is clense
clensed of stress! at least for a little while
Jill, cleansing is the perfect description. (well you know, except for the sherry and tinto that I was consuming) After more than a year of work with no time off I was more than ready to do nothing more than swim and sit on the beach.
Everyone kept asking if I wanted to visit this place or the other, and I just politely declined and said that I wanted to do nothing more than sunbathe and swim.
That's what I always want to do when we go on vacation...nothing. I want to enjoy the ocean, enjoy the view, the food, the drink...and that's about it.
It looks like a lovely spot! Hope you had plenty of time to just relax by the ocean and enjoy some cold cocktails.
Pseu, I was happy to ignore all cultural destinations. As for cold drinks, I've become quite a connoisseur of the Sherry, the local product.
Didn't you go to a bull fight in Porto and horse racing on the beach at San Lucar plus the village of Los Arcos?
Photoman, I'm going to post about the rest of the trip in segments.
You look beautiful in that wind-blown photo.
Thanks Wendy.
Your photos of your bloggers get together and your dinner with Karen were great.
And, I'm totally digging your Francis wardrobe.
Love your travel photos!
Thanks Miss C.
There will be more to come in the next few days.
