Hi Tricia,

A couple of things confused me a bit here. What are those wrought iron gates about? Did she live in a mansion, which had gates, and she snuck out to see him? Some clarification there would be great.

Also...."eyes that snapped like castanets." Eyes don't make noise when they open and shut, so this image doesn't work too well for me. If I were to forget about the noise that castanets make, and focus on their quickness...then it seems that the woman is angry, which doesn't seem to fit the mood of the piece.

I visited Ensanada a few months ago, as a stop on a cruiseline. Things went awry, so I was able to enjoy the city for only 25 minutes!
