As a couple

The house has a terrace facing the Atlantic and one bathroom: it is a house for two, or for two who know each other. These three days are designed never to drive more than half an hour at a stretch.

This itinerary is not written: it is composed. Each day joins a morning and an afternoon from our experiences, chosen by who they suit. If we add a new experience for this profile tomorrow, it joins here on its own.
