A week in the sun!

This weekend was our free one, so we decided to go to Mallorca. You could call it the Hawaii of Europe, especially for Spain, England, and Germany. I don't have a lot of pictures from this week because we pretty much just hung out on the beach the whole time. The first day, I woke up at seven to go watch the sunrise from the beach. As we slept with the door open I was reminded of Cody because we could hear the waves crashing on the beach. 

 On Thursday we decided to go for an adventure. We heard that not too far from our apartment there was a beach tucked in between two mountains. So we decided that we were going to search for them. We knew the general direction of the place but nobody knew exactly where they were. We looked up and figured it would be in between two peaks we could see. After hiking aimlessly on a path that we had no idea where it lead, we found some hunters who gave us some decent directions. Turns out we were right the beach was exactly where we had guessed! So we kept heading upward until we came to a crest and saw this:

 As you can see it was getting a little dark, so by the time we got there the beach was too dark to get a decent picture, but it sure was beautiful.

 This is the cathedral in Palma, the main city of the island. I liked this trip because we didn't do much sight seeing, we looked at the cathedral on our way to the beach and took a few pictures.

 The sunsets were beautiful, this is the last night we were there. It was a nice goodbye.

 Last week we did a lot of stuff around here in the community of Madrid. The above picture was at a cathedral in Salamanca, a really cool university town. Salamanca was the first university in Spain and the third in Europe. We also went to a real Madrid soccer game, it was awesome!

 Here is a typical view of the homes and landscape. Europe is just like all the movies, crazy cool!

This week we'll be headed for Andalucia, the southern part of Spain. I'm excited for it because of all the things that we will see that we have been learning about in class.

Have a good week everybody!!
