where do i begin!

sorry for the hiatus, but sissy was here and we had no time to sit down!

i'll start with mallorca. we left early saturday morning and we had beautiful weather, our hostel was right on the beach! we went with my friend diana also, but none of us had any idea about what to do there, not even towns or monuments to see. but we got there early and went to eat and then went into the main town. there were a lot more people out and more things to see with a cathedral and fountains and just really pretty landscaping.

mallorca is very very different. there are TONS of germans there, tons of german food, everyone speaks spanish, german and english. crazy!  and it is also super cheap there, my cheapest trip yet! but the stores don't really have a schedule. things open really late and it seems like they close really early. i guess that's the island life. you can do whatever you want. the people are extremely nice and welcoming, i really liked it there. the water was beautiful, but the mountains! oh my i want to move there when i am old and gray and live on the side of the mountain and watch the water and the sailboats go by:

the second day we went to this town called Soller. that's pictured above. it's on the beach and lots of mountains and we climbed up to the top of one and there's a huge lighthouse and restaurant up there. it's beautiful! you look out and you can only see water, and you know that Spain is right there across! but you can't see anything. Soller is definitely one of the cutest towns i've ever been to.

so the second day we spent in the mountains and the third day we went to las cuevas del drach. they were these super giant caves really far down and there was so much water and awesome stalagmites/-tites!

we went down to the deepest part and they have a place to sit and there's a big lake and they have these boats come out with lights on them and violin players playing!! and they were really really good. it was beautiful. they just ride around and play for you. and when they were done we hopped in a boat and they took us to the end. we weren't supposed to take pictures so i only got a few of the caves.

so that was pretty much our trip. we ate at one restaurant both nights because the first time we went they loved us and gave us free things :) they were really cool. everyone that ate in there knew them and it was like they were all friends. what a life!
