Fran and John visit Sabbatical III

Fran and John at Pantà d’Ulldecona (Ulldecona Dam).  We hiked for miles along the reservoir.

My twin sister Fran and her husband John visited us on Sabbatical III for six days beginning September 26.  We did not go sailing but we visited the beautiful spots around Sant Carles de la Ràpita in our little SEAT Ibiza rental car.  Plus, we had some amazing Catalan meals.  We always returned to the boat for the night and had leisurely breakfasts aboard each morning.

The historic town of Ballestar.  We had lunch in a mountain lodge and then drove along a road with hairpin curves to this small stone town.
