Reflections of St. Malo ©2016 Susan Noyes Anderson |
 |
Come hearken back to days of yore. Visit Saint Malo's rocky shore. Down sunny California way, it's sure to steal your heart away. |
 |
Designed to look like Normandy, a fishing village by the sea, this paradise of peace and plenty laid its roots in 1920. |
 |
Cottages with charm to spare, courtyards kissed with salty air, private beaches, shells to comb, dolphins diving through the foam. |
 |
Generations grew up here, reuniting every year, handing down a legacy: life and love and family. |
 |
Few have left here; few have sold, honoring those bonds of old. Community is hard to find; St. Malo is the lasting kind. |
 |
A privilege, here, to set my sails, to walk these sands and brick-laid trails, replete with sacred memory, a gift of hope and reverie. |

Oh I have been to Normandy... both similar and very different, it looks truly charming.
Have not heard of this special place. Thanks so much for sharing --- as someone said in another post reply -- better than a brochure! You've really allowed me to get the sense of this town -- its history, its calm and pride. Just lovely photos alternating with the stanzas. A wonderful post for the prompt!
Lovely images - words and photos combined!
Thank you for showing me this special place. I had not heard of it before.
I can feel family and tears in this poem...beautiful.
Thank you Sue for letting me know about this post! I don't know how I missed it.
This looks like such a lovely place to visit and your poem made it even more inviting. I just thought it was so beautiful and now I do want to go there. I love that you go there every year with such treasured friends! Hugs~
