I haven’t disappeared. Cati and I have concluded our summer travels. The few vacation days I have left this year are reserved for Xmas. Cati spent several weeks with her family in Mallorca, Spain. I joined her for a week, and we flew back together. Below are some photo highlights of the trip. Mouse over for descriptions.
Twilight shots from the site of our friends’ wedding reception:
We had a great time at the wedding. The bride and groom looked great (and a bit familiar, no?).
Here’s a nice little streetlight shot of the cool little Volvo C30 I was driving while there:
It was the zippiest deisel I have ever driven. I was impressed with the pick up on that little thing.
I guess the lowlight of the vacation was the travelling. Sitting on your rear end for 8 hours can be exhausting:
Highlights:
How lucky am I to have a wife from this beautiful island? And how lucky she is to have a husband who moved her to scenic Albany. I’d call it a fair trade, no?
No blog entry of mine would be complete without the food highlights either:
Read more about ensaimada here. Note: the origin of the word is related to “pork lard.” This stuff is about as healthful as a deep fried twinkie.
I wonder if Planters is worried about a potential paternity suit against their philandering mascot.
We crammed in so much fun and so many delicious meals (pun intended?). It was a great trip, but I am glad to be back home. Nothing like a vacation to recharge one’s batteries and renew one’s focus.
Beautiful pictures! Scenery as well as the food. It amazes me how Spaniards stay so thin. They eat all the time. Cati, I want to know your secret. Deia was one of my favorite places in Mallorca. Surely wouldn’t mind going back. Teresa’s backyard view is definitely a tie. Love that place, too. Such joyful memories. Thanks for sharing. Glad you two are back.
Amazing photos! I miss Mallorca! I want to hit that beautiful beach with the clear water next time we go. :)
