These weeks you’ve traveled on the Camino Francés, sharing stunning photos, entrancing stories, details and histories have been an outstanding experience full of adventure, inspiration and motivation not to mention the drama of wildfires. I loved every episode.
However, in my mind, the beauty of your island with its deep history, magnificent art and architecture, and nature at its best is equally lovely and worth exploring. The incredible photos in this piece are proof. You describe it all with obvious love for the special place you call home. I can’t say enough about the wonderful articles you craft with a panoramic feel capturing the sights, spirit and delights of the woodlands, beaches, villages and creatures that are part of the mystique.
And those sunsets! Incomparable!
So maybe you’ve saved the best for last as you’ve traveled these months. I look forward dessert.
Your beard? That’s up to you. It’s a different side of you and rather charming but you’re great either way.
Alex, these are so stunning; they’re almost too lovely to bear. Oh, for a world where sunsets were breaking news! Have been thinking about you this week. What an extraordinary journey. For me, though, your island is the most extraordinary adventure we’ve ever accompanied you on. I’ll be going about my day and those dunes will pop into my head, inserting themselves into the sink with the dishes or turning the Los Angeles coastline into a quieter and far lovelier beach in the Netherlands. Pure serenity.🤍
Those sunsets are stunning! Ocean sunsets are one thing I really miss in Switzerland. So, I look forward to many more from you. Good to see that you made it back safely with all those stories just waiting to be told. What a feeling that must be!
Wonder if anybody joined yesterday ... I'd light a candle for the beard ;-)
Yes to all those suggestions. I enjoy your Dutch summer writing. Thank you for sharing the beauty you see around you with your readers. Much appreciated.
Alex, your eyes now have a clarity and peace that they didn’t have prior to your pilgrimage. It will be wonderful to hear your impressions and thoughts about your journey and the future in the days, weeks and months to come.
You must be exhausted! I have so much catching up to do on all of your journeys notes and observations!
It must be so nice to have a gorgeous island retreat às you do.
It is definitely nice to have an interesting sophisticated traveler's eyes & ears describe the perfect escape to foreign lands rich in beauty & history ! Looking forward to more.
Yes, this is the closest feeling to a 'home' that I know. I will share pictures from this island as well once I get through the piles of emails that I all snoozed for after my time in Spain. Paying the price for that now...

Thanks Lizzie, there is still so much to share from this island, so expect more in the weeks to come
Hey, everyone, subscribe to this wonderful homage to the planet!
Hey, Alexander! Don't shave the beard 🙂
haha, thanks Rena :-)

Thank you Lex, Indeed a world that we should all want to live in. I will soon share more photos of the island, including the dunes

There will be more Kathy, for many more years to come I hope
Your island is lovely. 😻
There is something about living close to water. It washes away one’s cares & troubles for a few moments. Nice to be home again.
