She is not able walking
and lives on the cliffs in Spain.
She comes down on a Turtle,
because she has a tail.

She lives there in a garden
and overlooks the sea.
That mermaid I discovered
by heart she is with me.

About 10 years ago I visited Loret del Mar in Spain.
I like the ocean, the wind and all thoughts and art
of mermaids came there to existence to me.
Years before I had seen the mermaid in Copenhagen.
It was a small statue of the little mermaid, out of
the story of Hans Christian Anderson.
Although the garden was closed I got access and
I did not believe my eyes in this garden of Eden.
I got curious how many mermaids there are
in the world, besides this beautiful garden of
Santa Clothilde. I am still searching and found
there are many stories, sages en legends of
that woman with a tail from over almost every
continent in the world.
I even found a tribe, which was offering a pig
to the Amazon river to make their goddess with
her tail happy, so they would catch enough fish
in the river and she would not attack them.
I do hope you enjoy this few words of history.
