“A good holiday is one spent among people whose notions of time are vaguer than yours.”\u00a0\"\" John B. Priestly <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Enroute – as my friend Julie says, always the best part, when the whole vacation is ahead of you:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Madrid with Alejandro and Ivan and their gift to Tin of a toy clarinet:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

First night in Zahara de los Atunes – Tin sleeps in a big bed for first time:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This apartment is closer to Tata’s and closer to our place on the beach:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tin continues to be known as “el alegria de la playa”:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Pablo becomes Tin’s first manny:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tin grows more adorable each day but the binky proves he’s still my baby:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oscar, Rodrigo. Miguel and Estefa take care of us in such grand gallego style that we want to leave ourselves in their hands forever:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We arrive to the virgen’s procession, Carmen, and it is Carmen who bewitches Tin:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

No Tangiers this year (sigh), but we spend one night in Cadiz, a magical old city filled with fairytale parks:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I arrive at the profound realization that I have lived my whole life to get to these family moments:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The coast of light is not named that for nothing – the light is transcendent:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Pablo … the answer to quien es el mas guapo?:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, Tin is vying for that title every moment:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Spanish excursions have no real beginning and no clear end in sight – Bolonia to see the Roman ruins:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The best part of the excursion is the chiringuito where dining with Andalusians is always a treat:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tin thrives on the beach:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Every question I take with me remains a question – even the ants are complicit in this design:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bye Bye Beach Blues playing on a clarinet near you:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Madrid overnight before we leave for home – Inma comes with a toy for Tin:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Enroute home – is it possible two weeks have gone by?:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As the survey said, LOVE is the priority – our suitcase is a kilo heavier with the heart-shaped rocks found on the beach:<\/p>\n
