Vegetables are needed for lunch; we stop, on the way back
from St Antonio, at a near-ruined farm building, now home to bougainvillea.

Tomatoes and other veg are quickly purchased and we head
home for luncheon. (The stall-holder
runs out of tomatoes and scurries into the field next door to pick some more)
Languishing through a sleepy afternoon, we are blessed by
the shade of tall pine trees in the garden. They rock gently in the breeze;
sounds emerge from the beach across the road from the garden. We slide into the
pool like seals down a rock.

Monday is our back-to-the airport day. An early dawn is grey
and then, to wave goodbye, the sun appears.
Mark takes us back to the airport in Valencia. And along the
route I again wonder at the arid ground and orange tree fields, tomatoes and
olive groves and purple blue hills that climb up behind us as we journey home.
This is the final piece, for now.
