Palma de Mallorca, Spain

Aug 4/5- Overnight flights are horrific. British kids have the sweetest accents. Baggage was in customs (probably thought my x-acto was contraband).

Aug 6
- Went to the beach across the island (a little over an hour drive) to a sand beach. The water was crystal blue and almost stagnant...wading in the water like beached whales was completely necessary.

Aug 7 - Pool + beach by the house (this is a rock beach, it's a 20 minute walk downhill and a 35 minute walk uphill- with added sweatiness). The water was gorgeous. The sweating was not.



Aug 8 - Drove to a small village on the hill and had outstanding pastries for breakfast. Went into Palma and went to the Castillo (king's castle), drank a coffee at an outdoor shop, and explored Palma's port.



Aug 9 - Sketched in Palma. Explored the Cathedral. Went to a small port town and saw the King of Spain's house. Got the best helado (ice cream) ever.



Aug 10 - Off-roaded to a more private stone beach with Pepe + Gisella and the boys. Literally were going to fall off the cliff a few times. The water was awesome. Nudists everywhere - not awesome.
