There is somehow nothing like the smell of the ocean. It's sweet. And spicy. And appetizing. And it feels like home.

Which is probably why we've been eating nothing but fresh fish, fresh oysters, fresh scallops, and fresh lobster since coming here. Yum!

When we were walking along a narrow, little path on the coast yesterday, my wife heard a woman say to her young son, when he asked what that smell was: "Yes, that's garbage you're smelling."

Pearls for swine.
