We have arrived in South Eastern Spain, a little resort town of Torreveija, south of Alicante, which is south of Valencia. We departed Figueres and drove 4 hours to Valencia...we survived a tire blow out on the super highway. Not alot different about changing a tire in Spanish than in English. The drive is very nice and bordered by mountains, orchards, and the sea. We decided to visit Valencia... Read Full Entry

Safe journey to AFRICA!!
Hi Nadine and Dana! Thanks for allowing us to share in this interesting journey. My computer was in the shop for a long week and a half, so I was really hoping for another blog entry to read as soon as the computer was back and running. So as I read this today, your gang is already headed to Africa....too exciting!! Dana's very descriptive blog just needs some appropriate backgound music, and I could really imagine myself in these countries. I can't help but think that our youngest kids would have a real challenge with unfamiliar foods and spices etc. , Nadine , how are your boys doing in that regard? Can you find your club soda is most places you've been? Pat has just gone out for a round of golf at The Blume today, i can't remember Nov. golfing in the Hat since we lived here. The kids are praying for snow, of course, I just like driving on dry roads for a few more weeks if we can. Keeping you in our prayers, Karen
