Dan owned a 30ft yacht in the marina and had sailed it from Panama to Brittany in France and then through Frances canal system to the Med. He was now sailing south to Spain.

The following day loomed bright and beautiful. Milly had been regaling us with stories of hot chocolate and churros so we went in search of them – to no avail, but we did find that overnight a huge market had set up along the waterfront in L’Escala.

... we will manage to upload pics soon - I want you guys to see the beautiful sites we have been too as well as the fun stuff we have photographed... however sometimes having others take pics of us has been an adventure in itself... hand gestures asking to turn the camera around - failed, and alot of people always seem to cut out the important details of monuments....
