The Beachy Rosemary Mystery

Yesterday, we made our way

 to the cove of Paleokastro, (Old Castle), 

for our first salty swim of the season.

Sailboats, floating on a splashy

 surface of sparkling waves,

glided past cliffy coastlines, signed by

stiff, sunburnt branches,

and rough and rocky shores, where aromatic rosemary

 seasoned the breeze with savoury/sweet bouquets.

The Venetian Fortress of Paleokastro of Malevizio, 1573

 I wonder, could this fragrant herb have been

 planted by palace proprietors, or the castle's cooks,

 

  who braved the descent down to the pebbly beach

   to snip the leaves for rich ragouts and scented brews?

One thing's for sure: 

the corns and calluses

 of the castle's culinary crew 

must have been
 pampered and pumiced

 with a weekly, pedicure!

Thanks for visiting 

and have a wonderful week!
