Another view of the sea from Vilanova. We hadn’t seen some of the friends at yesterday’s birthday celebration for a year…. And it was a beautiful reunion, masks off when possible, proper distancing and greeting—and who would have believed we’d be talking this way before the pandemic! However, mild, sunny weather. Light traffic on the highways. All in high spirits. From the restaurant we could look down and see the beach with people running and playing, and colorful parasols here and there on the sands, then the long shallows of the sea, something like in this photo taken some time back (and at a different time of day). This morning, back in the city and ready for a longer trip.
