A swim in the Mediterranean

Do you know that the last time I swam in the Mediterranean Sea was in 1975?  I think I was overdue for another dip and today was the day.  We are staying in a beautiful apartment in Palma, Mallorca.  That's an island off the Spanish Coast.  We have a two week home exchange here in a lovely apartment in the old city.  We have 7 windows overlooking 4 different streets and each one has a wonderful view.
But that's not telling you about my swim.  We took a day trip to Soller on the island's west coast.  We caught a vintage train there from Palma - that made Alan happy - then a vintage tram from Soller to the Port - then a boat to a small village called  La Calobra.  That's where I had my swim in crystal clear water that was the perfect temperature.  There was a small taverna on the beach where we had drinks and something to eat afterwards.  A beautiful day.  This picture is of Port Soller.
