So woke up to a beautiful cloudless morning in Mallorca with a wonderful breakfast of toast, jam, cheese and, of course, jamon iberico. For those who haven't had jamon bellota... look it up. It will change your life. Took a quick trip to the rooftop to see the latest changes to it... I have to say... home run!! Polished dark woods with white rocks and asian-inspired giant potted plants. More to come on this later.
At noon, the family and I took a trip to (no jokes) the gym. :) The local gym is of course.. amazing, in the classic arabian style with vaulted archways and indoor/outdoor pool. I decided to try and swim for half an hour and let's just say... after 5 minutes i almost had a heart attack in the pool. KUDOS to my swimming buddies.... swimming is no joke hard when you are doing it competitively.
After the gym a nice rooftop lunch.. and then off to Valentina's piano recital at the Real Club Nautico . Vale has been taking piano lessons since she was 6 an
d it shows. She played Nocturne by Chopin. Amazing! My music playing past involves a 2-6 month stint on about every instrument you can think of... (guitar, piano, violin, etc)... never really got off the ground with any of them. However, I happen to be a musical prodigy on the bongos... for those who have heard my work. :)After the recital, a walk into downtown for dinner at El Caballito de Mar (translation: Seahorse) to meet up with Aunt/Uncle/Cousins on the island. A nice shot of one of the many beautiful walks in downtown Mallorca below.
Dinner ended at about 11:30 (early in spanish terms) but enough of Day 2. Day 3 will be busy with our overnight trip to Barcelona. More to come.
