soller.



Ever since 1912 the Sóller railway has been running a daily train service along the 27.3 km route between Palma de Mallorca and Sóller, without interruption.

It was a lovely day walking around town, looking at beautiful building, and eating the delicious "famous" soller gelato.  The train had amazing scenery.  The mountains were not as big as home but they were as beautiful.  The small european towns sitting in the valleys made it feel like we were back in the early 1900's.


 These mountains reminded us a little of home.

 There were many tunnels along the way.

The town was very beautiful.  It had an amazing cathederal that we all loved.

sunday fun.

Last Sunday was filled with adventures. 


 My family stayed in their country house in Camponet for the weekend, so Sunday morning i had to wake up extra early to catch the bus at 8:15 am.  After about 20 minutes of traveling on the bus it arrived at the train station in Inca.  I took the train from Inca to Placa de Espanya, where I walked 15 minutes to the church building.  I hadn't talked to anyone the whole weekend, so I was glad when Carolyn showed up to church.  Unfortunantly Lindsey and Alicia missed the bus and where unable to make it... 





 So we met them in S'arenal.  It is a very touristy beach with loads of germans.  It was nice laying out and dipping our toes in the water.






  After the beach the missionaries invited us over to Debbies (a british lady from the another branch).  She was lovely and we had an amazing time chatting and making brownies.



We walked to the beach that night and sat in the sand and watched the waves.  It was a wonderful way to end an amazing day.
