Alicante.

Our old beach town is a great mixture of old Spanish town (also conquered/occupied by the Moops) and beach town.  These are some photos of the beach that we’ve been handing on and the cafe where I’ve been reading my dear old Herald-Tribune and drinking afternoon tea.  Even in this digital day and age, I realized now that I’m back in Europe how much I missed the Herald-Trib.  It’s a great paper - with world-centric editorial view that is rare for an American paper.  Every time I’ve lived and worked in Europe, I’ve said that once I’m back in the states, I’ll subscribe to the H-T, but never have.  It’s a joy to read it again.

The last photo is chess tournament happening on the beach where a single Russian was playing 10 challengers at once!
