Costa Brava Girona is my first destination. I admit the mere beauty of the place grows a warm memory in my heart at the same time a loneliness that only the heart broken can relate to. The beach and the guest that I meet are gentle and ease the pain. the new environment though gave me another perspective in life. I know this is what I really want.
