Observations from an Expat

Are we there yet? Menorca.

A trip to Menorca.  Country lanes, through farm land and scruffy olive trees.  Choosing a beach from a list of too many.  On the map, not far.  On a two direction road wide enough for one, quite far.  After an hour the questions start.  "Where are we going?"  "Why are we going to this one?" "When will we get there?" "How do you know this is worth it?"  "Whose stupid idea was this?"  Then we reach a parking lot.  No beach.  No sea in sight.  More groans.  "AND we have to walk?"  "And we don't even know where we are walking to?"  "What kind of idiot comes on vacation without a travel book?"  We start down the path.  People.  They say "only 10-15 minutes more."  More groans.  Then, out of the trees, it appears.  Shock and awe.  And another question.  "Can we come back tomorrow?"  Cala en Turqueta.  Find it.
