Bon Voyage

I will be on the Island of Tenerife in the Canary Islands until late late next Thursday. Pictures to follow upon my return!

Francia

Stunning.

San Sebastian

Favorite things in San Sebastian:

- Rose Trees... absolutely beautiful

- The River/Cantabric Sea... obviously great

- A wonderful seaside breakfast, listening to the waves crash against the rocks. They even provided blankets incase the breeze is a little too strong

Bilbao

Toledo

Amazing.

Happy Thoughts

(Mediteranean in Barcleona)

Happy Thought #1 : Last night I attended my second spanish yoga class at the University. It's a little different than the yoga I am used to but is still wonderfully relaxing and I am learning all sorts of new vocabulary words :

ribcage: caja

spine: columna vertebral

groin: ingle

Happy Thought #2: Two weeks from tomorrow I fly out for 6 nights and 7 days in the Canary Islands which are just west of Africa, by Morocco. Itinerary so far includes possibly whale watching, volcano-climbing, and most of all --lounging on the beach!!

El Escorial

Yesterday we visited El Escorial, once a Royal Palace and now a monastery. The highlight was seeing the beautiful marble and bronze crypt of all of the kings and queens of Spain. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take photos inside so I snapped a few of the crazy snow storm instead.
