Being Me on the Mediterranean Sea




"The voice of the sea is seductive; never ceasing, whispering, clamoring, murmuring, inviting the soul to wander for a spell in abysses of solitude; to lose itself in mazes of inward contemplation. The voice of the sea speaks to the soul.  The touch of the sea is sensuous, enfolding the body in its soft, close embrace."  Passage taken from "The Awakening" by Kate Chopin. 

Today I went kayaking with Irene from Holland.  She is a fellow student at the school, who like me has traveled here alone to study Spanish.  She is a life long learner and enjoys studying.  She scheduled 2 hours of private lessons for herself a day and is staying in an apartment that Sonja rents to her that is only a 12 minute walk to the school.  For only 15 euros each we rented a double kayak and paddled around the ""Cerro Gordo" to kayak into the cave.  This was a small cave where apparently as history goes, smugglers brought in contraband like cigarettes and alcohol as recently as thirty years ago and hid it there for it's recovery by boat. 

The school of La Herradura also sets up group  kayaking excursions for students of the school at Windsurf La Herradura that is located perhaps 300 yards down the beach from where the school is located.  You can't miss it as it is the only blue building on the beach.

Windsurf La Herradura also rents paddle boards by the hour.  I watched the sun set while paddleboarding one evening.
