Walking along the beach

Did some walking today...about 9km from Tarragona to Altafulla along the beaches and rocks. Needless to say I'm a bit tired now! It is a bit of an achievement for me because the last major walk I did (besides another beach in Devon) ended with a broken ankle. It is a running joke with my Uni friends about how useless I supposedly am at walking.
 Well...I'm not as bad as I was beginning to believe. I even scaled some difficult rocks (with the help of my male friends).
 It is such a nice walk! I love exploring and it was a nice cheap activity as well!
 I was feeling a bit gloomy when I first returned to Spain with the prospect of going back to work and it being winter with not much going on but I was wrong to have such thoughts. Lots of things are slowly coming together and next weekend I'm going to check out a town/suburb of Barcelona which is meant to have some good Roman ruins so expect photos next weekend too.
 And as I was writing this post a close friend messaged me to say that there is a chance she and her boyfriend might be moving to Barcelona next year which would be AMAZING if it happened. She's one of those friends who I always wanted to live with and spend more time with (the last few years she's lived in Canada and up north) and whilst we wouldn't live together now, if she was nearby I reckon we'd have such fun together as we like a lot of the same things. I guess it is a case of waiting to see...
Anyway...it is Sunday, there is a cottage pie in the oven and a film to finish...and then some sweet sleep me thinks...Until next time xxx
