Ibiza, Spain

The Blu Marlin on Sunday 


The first of the two Albertos that hosted my stay in Ibiza. 

The two Albertos. Don't ask me what they were trying to accomplish in this photo.

Formentera, Spain

Formentera was a last minute stop and a last minute decision on my way through Spain. It is a small island in the Balearic Sea just off the coast of Ibiza.

I am so glad I made the decision to stop there. It hosted the peace, quiet and solitude I was longing for.  It gave a me a chance to do the writing I have been wanting to catch up on. I was able to write 30 pages in three days and set the wheels in motion for me to write a book. What happens to the book when I am finished is in God's hands.

Thank you, Formentera!



The view from my room
My work station

I wrote 30 pages in three days looking at this view. Not a bad office.

Nighttime at the hotel

Sunrise. I swear I didn't leave the hotel for three days. It is heaven here.

Pretty, pretty

I finally left the hotel today and took a bike ride around the island.

It was a bit overcast and rainy, but still beautiful.


The overcast clouds made for a pretty sky.

Walking towards Espalmador

The water here is like the water in the Caribbean 



The following day had a clear sky full of sunshine. It made a big difference in the color of the water.


The beach I went today is Platja de Ses Illetes

The camera doesn't capture what the eye sees. I couldn't get enough of the water.


Maybe tomorrow, I'll actually take a picture of my face.

That is a shark in the water. Well, not a real one. They were shooting a movie.

I took a bike ride to the other side of the island and popped into this sweet little cove, Cala Soana.



And this is what I came home to.




Another beautiful end to a beautiful day in Formentera.

More of the same beauty at a different beach today.


My new Italian friends.


I will be sad to leave here tomorrow. It has been by far the most peaceful stop on the tour thus far.
