2018.05.11 A different perspective

We love the Mercado in Puerto de Mazarrón because 2 of our favorite shops are there – the baker and the ecological store. And today we had an unexpected view on the Mercado from a hill.

2018.05.10 Walking in the rain

The weather app keeps predicting sun and the reality keeps being rainy. Well, we won’t melt from a bit of rain.

It starts with a disparaging and resentful ‘god’ who punished the Egyptians with ten plagues because the pharaoh wouldn’t let the enslaved Israelites go. Hence the song: ‘Let my people go … Read more
