Julianna and Malli's big island adventure trip!!!








 Lots of new pictures! We began our travels last Sunday and got home Tuesday night. Bummer for me, I got a cold the first night we were on our adventure : (  It was still so awesome though!! So, the first one is the hostel we stayed at in a town, Sollier. I fell in love with that town!! So beautiful and quaint, and very nice people. The second pic is of a church in Soller. The third is of the awesome streets I was driving on and how small they are! It is so fun passing people on those roads, especially big trucks and bicyclists. The fourth is Soller with the daily trolley passing through. The fifth picture is our sweet little Peugot rental car! Really fun and easy to drive. The sixth is just another picture of the crazy streets and the shudders are either doors to homes or windows. The seventh is this random picture I took when we were driving this unbelievably crazy road at almost dark to this lighthouse at the most northern tip of Mallorca. The picture is of these random stairs going nowhere right next to a complete drop-off into the ocean!! The eighth pic is yet another of how steep the roads can be. I guess I am just amazed at what kind of roads they have! I love them! The ninth is of Julianna and I at a disco-tek bar that we went to with a waiter and his friend that we met in Soller. It turned out that they both didn't speak a word of English, so poor Julianna had to interpret the whole time! It was fun to get out though with new people, English-speaking or not. Tenth pic is of this totally random cat we found on the side of this cliff that was SO sweet and totally looks wild in this picture! I am all about saving animals, but this cat was pretty plump and seemed well taken care of, somehow or another. Eleventh is of Port de Pollenca, and the twelfth is how far above we were from that same port after driving 5 minutes! Thirteenth pic is wild mountain goats we found! Okay, they may not have been wild but we are pretty sure they were since they did not have any bells or spray paint on them marking them owned. Fourteenth is the market in Arta, this awesome little town that had wonderful roasted nuts, beautiful scarves, and really, really nice people. Fifteenth is Alcudia, where we stayed the second night. We were going to stay in a monastery, but LONG story short, we did not find it after walking 20 minutes in pouring, pitch black mountains because our little Peugoet could not make it up steep, slick hills so we had to park it and hike. Quite an experience I must say!! Sixteenth is Cala Rajada, where we had amazing hot chocolate, and I mean REAL chocolate that was like boiling in the cup it was so hot, and was a cute little town with lots of boats and locals. The last picture is for my mom! It was this giant rooster decoration in the middle of one of the thousands of round-a-bouts they have here. She loves roosters for those of you who don't know... Anyway, even though I was sick, the weather could have been a little better and we climbed a mountain in the dark, our trip couldn't have been better. It's all about experiencing new, interesting stuff!! I hope all of you guys are great! I will post pictures of me riding Abraixo probably later next week! He is still my most favorite guy and makes me so happy every day I work with him! Love ya guys : )
