It is like any beach town in America…in the summer, it comes
alive and you can hardly find a parking place. Winter is dead and deserted.
Horse-drawn buggies full of tourists are everywhere and make
it difficult to get through the streets
The hotels by the beach take all the water in the summer so
we are left with hardly a drop! (finally got a pump and storage tank installed)
There are recycling bins for plastic bottles
You’re likely to see a runaway camel careening down Main
Street at top speed
Fine, red dirt in everything! My clothes, my floors,
everything!
Constant sea breezes which makes the heat bearable but
hence, the red dirt
Friendly people who have all the time in the world
Wicked humidity! Never perspired so much in my life
Straw hats
Seaweed-covered beaches
Olive groves as far as the eye can see
Quads roaring up and down our streets (with tourists on them)
Scorpions
Spiritually-darkened minds, as dark as anywhere I've been
We aren’t quite at the end of the earth but we can see it
from here!! Looking forward to your visit:)
