The Ria

This evening I went for a walk along the Ria, where the mouth of the river meets the ocean. The sun was setting and the tide was low, boats sitting on patches of marshy land waiting to float again come morning. There is a footbridge over the water that is ancient....I mean actually built by the Romans....ancient....incredible...

In the evenings all the families come out and walk the Ria together...Old, young, strolling, pushing carriages, roller skating, walking dogs...I was actually one of the very few people out walking alone. Such a sense of family...enjoying one another, enjoying life and creation and the cool air at dusk...it´s something truly beautiful here.
