Unnamed road, Pulpi. 37° 20.676'N 1° 41.212'W

Back on the coast, just west of a place called Pulpi, we happened onto a free-camping paradise, low hills right on the sea, dozens of RVs, all enjoying the same view. We plan on staying here a couple days, doing nothing but walking into town, 3 miles away, for wifi. At a bar. Life is good.

Oh, Pulpi is famous, by the way. According to the all-knowing and self-correcting Wikipedia, "On September 29, 2007, Pulpi tossed the world's largest salad, with 6,700 kilograms (14,740 pounds) of lettuce, tomato, onion, pepper and olives, supervised by 5000 cooks over 3 hours. A Guinness World Records judge was present to confirm the new record. The salad was prepared in a container 18m (59ft) long and 4.8m (15.7ft) wide." Too many cooks may spoil a soup, but, apparently, not a salad.
Not a bad view, and the price is right; the place is so popular that a truck from 
town calls every morning at 9:30, selling bread, milk, newspapers, etc.





Moonrise in the afternoon 









Only cloud in the sky at sunset, Friday night











Full moon over the Mediterranean, a place called Playa del 
Serena Mar; indeed

The moon was equally bright here last night. In fact, it was called the Wolf Moon, the time in 2010 when the moon was closest to the earth, so it seemed brighter and larger. Around here with our deep cover of snow, it was as bright at 1:00 a.m. as it was at 7:00 a.m. the day before. It reminded me of the Christmas poem "the moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow gave the luster of mid-day to objects below."
