Matalascanas

07 OCT -- Tuesday


We drove down to the coast, to the quite sizeable resort town of Matalas- canas. It was a lovely large area full of homes, vacation homes, condominiums and hotels. The odd thing was there were no street names. Carrie went to birdwatch at the park (our primary purpose for driving here) and I went to the beach and swam in the Atlantic Ocean for the first time.

That night we drove, following a sign, to a restaurant, and after a long walk down the promenade, we returned at the point when the sun was setting. It was so beautiful and I silently said a prayer for all my loved ones on the other side of the sunset. We had a lovely meal overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
