SPLASHING DOWN THE COSTA DEL SOL
We are touring Spain, driving south along the coast. August is hot; traffic is fast and heavy as many Europeans take their holiday in August. Three cranky and sweaty children in the back seat are consoled with promises of a swim when we stop for the day

A busy tourist town. The only hotel with a vacancy is three blocks from the beach. A small and slightly shabby affair, but the beds and baths are clean.

Heading north on our way back to Switzerland we camp out. No
pool. No sea. Rain and wind all night.

Very vivid and lovely, Adelaide. I especially like this:

Hi Adelaide. My blog is giving me trouble. I can't add new posts, and the list of blogs I normally use when visiting friends' blogs has disappeared. But, anyway, Hi. Enjoyed your haibun.
Hi Bill,
It's a hassle to get Google to fix a blog. Have you tried posting on the blogger forum?

Thanks Janet,
That trip is still vivid in my mind even after more than 40 years.
Adelaide
