Re: Temperatures

I still have happy memories of going to see Pink Floyd play in Edinburgh, back in 1974 I think it was. We had no money for lodgings, so we camped out on the shores of Loch lomond, yes a long way...

Re: orlando

Lake Mary is pretty upscale as it is next to Heathrow, a very expensive housing development..I believe Michael Jackson has a home there, or had. You will have a fairly easy commute to Orlando down...

Re: Dogs on beaches

I've never seen it enforced here in Javea during the summer or the winter. I've seen folks with their dogs on the Stony Beach while the cops were passing by and they never even batted an eye,...

Re: Warm year round climate

Is it my imagination or have we seen more wind than normal this year? In the time I have spent here, I don't recall it being this windy. Funnily, my friends back in Florida tell me that it has been...
