[el Trenc beach]
This beach is in the middle of where Lindsey and I were both on holiday.  If we each walk 45 minutes on the beach we would end up together.  The first day I arrived, we met up and explored the new area we were in.  It was a lovely day with the amigas.

We ended up meeting a couple of times in the middle. Everytime we would have a fun time chillin in the water and doing what we do best laugh constantly while we are together.

[Snorkeling]
Alicia and I had explored not only the town, but the life under water.  I was loads of fun experiencing it since it was my first time.  Its crazy to think there is a whole other world under the water.

The fam and I took a boat over with some of their friends and enjoyed the afternoon swimming in the beautiful water.  This beach is nice because it isnt very crowded.  You either have to come from a boat or if you live in a small town close by called Ses Selines you could get there by car.  

Having a fun playing in the sea with the children.

hundreds of little fish always swimming around.

The water is so clear and beautiful.

The nexted week when Lindsey and her family were in La Rapita, they came to Colonia and we took a small boat over to the same beach.  It was a lovely day spending time with both families and of course being with Lindsey is always a plus :)

[Sunset]

It was an amazing view every evening watching the sun go down.  It was my favorite part of the day sitting and watching the sun inch down slowly until it was gone.  Its amazing that one star can make such beautiful colors across the sky.  Its like God paints a new masterpiece every evening.

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.

(soller)

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.

Making sandwiches for lunch.  

 There were many tunnels along the way.

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

walking the streets of soller.

eating the "famous" ice cream of soller...and yes it was delicious!

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.

church.

living outside of utah...church is a journey.

but it has been a great experience.

we leave a hour before church begins and we always tend to still be late.

we have to walk for a little while. catch a bus. then walk a little while longer. until we finally arrive.
I take for granted living a block away at home and even having a car to drive.

It has been fun to get to know the missionaries especially since they are both from utah.  & good thing they are able to translate for me because I would have know idea what was being said during church.

lovely music

I love music.

especially the kind that gets your body moving.

& thats exactly what music of the mediterreanan does.

It was a lovely night with lovely girls.

we walked around the cathederal.

had fun sitting in the wrong place for a while.

(there for a min. we thought we were going to be the only ones at the concert.)

But when we finally found the right place to listen,

we all moved our hips a little and had a good time.

walking around the cathederal.

I loved how amazing the cathederal looked up close.

gelato.

We are always craving gelato.

So we decided to get a box of it at the market.

Lindsey Carolyn, and I then walked to the harbor and ate on the board walk.

It was delicious, cheap, and plenty to go around.

Gelato outing equals success.

another life time.

i love to read.

especially on the beach.

my imagination runs wild.

i can picture myself in the book.

how would I react?

what would I do?

i love opening my mind to a new world.

going back in time, heading into the future.

it is all exciting.
