South Pacific Familyadventure 2008 - To the roots of Mercedes

To the roots of Mercedes

South Pacific Familyadventure 2008

Claes Brodin

Sat 25 Jun 2022 20:26

Coming into Ria Ares we headed for the beach below Mercedes family´s summerhouse. The family was gathered in the garden waving with flags and after a long salute we moored in Ares Yacht Club (Mercedes father being one of the founders).

Spending all summers in this house since childhood this was an emotional return and with a beautiful view all over Ria Ares I understand why Mercedes is obsessed by sunsets.

With San Juan dinner waiting we made a quick switch of clothes and went for grilled seafood (and Estrella Galicia 1906-"Probably the best beer in the world")
