Nice friends along the way

 Busy bees and baby foxes out to play!

Walking more, bouquet making

So, a little bit had to come home with me! I just could not resist!

Walk on 11.5.14

Let's go fly a kite!

 The day was perfect for getting out and releasing Spiderman and the Transformers onto the city!

 Special thanks to Kati for giving me something she had been given for her wedding: a stackable yellow lunch thingy. Turns out that after 2 kids, a 4 part compartment is not big enough for a picnic.

 At $5 each, these kites were fantastic! Even the red streamer made for great flying.

 The prime kite flying location...

...and perfect conditions. It's good to be me.

Evening in Palma De Mallorca

 When Crystal and I got back to the room, there was the cokes and water we had asked for, in spades! The 6 pack was a nice touch!

 We bundled up and went for an evening walk about the town. We kept noticing the graffiti, but were amused that the graffiti was quite lovely! I think I can handle this type of graffiti

 The sky line of Palma

 This part reminded me of home...sweet San Diego harbor

 But with a twist. I enjoyed reading the names of the boats.

 We stopped for some coffee and hot chocolate...

 ...and found the garbage cans to be quite interesting! No rubber duckies in the above one, but you can put them in red one!

 The map of the city

 We enjoyed watching the sunset from the ship

 ...and were amused by our neighboring cruise line, with lipstick!

You can see the cathedral to the left, and the beach to the far right where I swam. Great day!

Likely my favorite day

 Palma De Mallorca, Spain!

 It was an exquisite day, and Crystal and I were thrilled to be well enough to get out and about. We had spent nearly 2 days laying in bed, feverish with absolutely no energy. So our goal for the day was to walk to the beach in Spain and lay out. Included in that, for me, was to swim in the Mediterranean. (Crystal passed, as she was still not feeling great. I wasn't either, but I simply could not pass up the opportunity. My mermaid blood was too strong)

 The cathedral was beautiful from the outside. We did not go inside partially because we really wanted to go to the beach, and partially because it was closed.

 Outside the cathedral, these swans continued their romance. I can imagine that generations of swans in love lived here.

 Part of the gardens with koi...and of course, door knockers still fascinate me.

 Crystal got into the spirit!

 I thoroughly enjoyed soaking up the sun

 Then we came to the beach! My first time swimming in the Mediterranean Sea! (hopefully not my last)

 Map of our area

 We walked back along the shoreline, happy to not be sick!

 I happen to like crabs as it is my astrological sign (not that that means anything significant) and because it is an ocean creature.

 What a fantastic day!
