@erawls Hi Elaine,
It took me a little while to answer you because I’ve being spending a few days on hollidays visiting Seville and Cádiz in Andalusia, my favorite places in Spain. The beaches of Cádiz are beautiful, at night from the roof of our hotel you can see the lights of the city of Tangier in Morocco, for me that I’m from the north, this proximity to Africa is exciting.
I’m very sorry for your herpes, I have had it for many years and it is really painful, I hope you are much better, mine was little but I have met people who had a really bad time, that is why today the chickenpox vaccine has been extended since children to avoid this disease especially in older people that can be very lacerating. Take care of yourself. A hug
