More of Tossa de Mar

There are three beaches in Tossa de Mar - one on the more modern side (where the larger hotels are), one in between the modern side and the old city, and one right beneath the wall of the old city, which is a bit hidden...this last one is where we spent our days. The whole point of going to a small town was so we wouldn't fee obligated to spend our days seeing the sights. We just needed a place to relax. Tossa de Mar has 2 major shopping streets, the old city, some hiking paths, and the beaches. So we felt no guilt getting up in the morning, having a bit of breakfast, then lying on the beach until we got hungry again. Then we'd go to the same pizza place day after day (the pizza here was as good as in Italy), followed maybe by a walk (this was taken on a hike we took up the mountain to south of the city),then back to the beach till we got hungry, or thirsty, again. Then we'd head to the same bar, Don Juan's, run by a bunch of Germans and frequented by red-faced foreigners. Then on occasion, back to the beach. It was wonderful! And of course Leo wore his speedo, and felt right at home with all of the other speedo-clad vacationers.

Oh. That looks so wonderful. If I close my eyes I can feel the sand between my toes...
