Our New Neighborhood

Here in our new neighborhood in town, it's a longer walk to the beach and we miss the farm animals, but we are enjoying our walks through the sprawling cemetery on the sea cliff and across the sandy beaches below.

Here are some typical sights from our evening walks. (By the way, sunset today was at 9:20 PM, and darkness doesn't settle in until around 10.)


Homes are scattered over a hilly and irregular terrain.

The cemetery includes special areas for war veterans.

and offers many places for reflection.
