It was a wild weekend! I am developing a very strong love/hate relationship with Spain. Friday was very cold and VERY rainy. The day started out with Rachel calling the airline to ensure that our flights were all in order, because we had been having trouble all week with our flight info, and they informed us that we only had our ticket to Palma de Mallorca, and not a return flight. So we had to buy another ticket over the phone (from a WOMAN name Fred), and it was twice as expensive. It was a very long and discouraging process. And of course I had to be at school the entire day. Classes were ok, it was Halloween so we were just doing activities for that. I sang songs and colored with the 5 year olds ... read more

Up early, coffee on the balcony. We (only Ken and I went on this one; others did something else) have an excursion in beautiful Palma de Mallorca, Spain.

We walked through the town, toured a monastery, drank lattes. We walked some more and then we had some wine and wonderful olives; I don't even like olives and I swear these were amazing. Our group had reservations at a local restaurant. So fun~ I ate things I had ... read more

It's flown these last few days, Thursday 19th. We popped to Palma and tried to show the girls some culture, as you can probably imagine they weren't too impressed. And the green man had changed into a roman Centurion who we had a sword fight with, we done 2 caches nearby the Parc de la Mar! It really is a lovely city, the cathedral and palace is lovely, all though we didnt go in ( as we had been round them before) and didn't think it would be the girls cup of tea. We wandered up the old streets, it somehow reminds me of the lanes in Brighton. We came back to the pool mid afternoon and the girls made friends with a Spanish Girls with broken Spanglish. We went to a great restaraunt for Steak, ... read more
