Sand between my toes!

Ocean!

We drove rather a while today on big roads and little roads, all mostly obscuring the scenery, to suddenly arrive at Looe perched on the slopes above the river and the ocean.  Someone had mentioned this place to us with enough conviction that we figured it was a good idea, and it was.  All we did in Looe was sit about, explore, drink some tea, and sit about some more.  It was pretty lovely, and a really nice last full day here. 

Here the water is teal and fog laps like the tide, and boats sit lazily by.  Not that it's a quiet place.  For a cloudy tuesday it was surprisingly busy - shops filled with people.  The place is lined with ice cream shops, but somehow still doesn't seem touristy.  It was lovely to walk the beach barefoot (like a massage for our overworked feet!), and look at the shells and rocks half hidden in the sand. 

Tonight we pack.
