Spain in pictures... Costa Brava

La Costa Brava is kind of like the French Riviera. I say that, of course, having never BEEN to the French Riviera, but you get my drift. It's a looong stretch of coves and sleepy fishing towns, interspersed with some resort towns. It was also hot and absolutely beautiful.

Jared lost no time digging a huge hole with Ruby's help. Then Ruby and I buried him. I was getting a bit nervous that the tide was coming in so fast we were going to have a Twilight Zone moment on our hands, but it all worked out okay. As you can see, Ruby was concerned that Jared might need to borrow her sunglasses.

Ruby wasn't all that keen on swimming (the water was quite cold), but she did enjoy fetching buckets full of water and sand. Nana found a great beach kit complete with water can. That water can continues to be a big hit at bath time!

Here's a view of the beach where we spent the day. After our hours at the beach we took a really beautiful drive down the coast and saw lots of beautiful views. Unfortunately, it was a very tiny, windy road, with no turn outs, so those pictures reside only in my foggy memory.


Max got pretty pooped and decided to sack out in the stroller with Nana under the umbrella. Before long we all joined them for some lunch.


Here's Max in his swim trunks. They didn't see much water since every time his toes hit the water he cried bloody murder. He's decided that he's strictly a heated pool baby.


Ruby and Bobo taking a long walk on the beach.

Don't give up on me! I promise to get more posted soon!

It looks like you had a wonderful trip. I am really looking forward to your return to the good ole USA. I can't imagine tyring to pack everything up with Ruby and Max "helping". I know you must have your hands full. I will keep you in my prayers. Can't wait to see y'all.
Love,
