We´ll be alright if it doesn´t rain

1 liter of sangria is a good start to a blog post eh?  I think Adam and I have both uped our alcohol tollerance a great deal this trip.  We had a liter of sangria yesterday too!  Today is our last day on Palma de Mallorca.  I can´t say that we are too disappointed to be leaving though.  It rained everyday that we were here except for today and the first day we had here.  Kind of a bummer considering that the primary reason we came to this place was to climb.  Rain can really put a damper on climbing :)  Yesterday we even got a power outage for a while because there was such crazy lightening!  At least we got a little entertainment with the rain.  Today turned out excellent though.  A great end to our time here.  We went sea kayaking in the morning and found a great little cove with crystal clear water and lots of fish, and in the afternoon we went to the climbing crag closest to our hotel and spent a few hours in the sun dong what we do best.  Adam sent 2 more 12´s at that crag, including an awesome roof route and I top-roped an 11c!  We even had a great dinner at our favorite little restaurant here, Roma.  We both had pizza.  I have been loving the pizza on this trip.  I am pretty sure I have gained at least 10 pounds because I love the pizza so much.  I think this will be the last post while we are abroad.  We fly to Barcelona tomorrow and then home on the 8th.  I will post some more pictures when I get home and have a better computer and have tome to reflect on this crazy trip that is about to come to a close.  I am missing my home at his point though and all of my lovely friends and family.  Thanks for being interested in our lives.  Sorry for all the mis-spellings  and other grammar errors, I´m not very good at writing to begin with and after 1/2 liter of sangria I can´t imagine what I´ve mispelled. :)

Another rainy day

Today was another rainy day on the island of Mallorca.  As was yesterday and tomorrow will probably be the same.  It´s a good thing we both brought some good books to read and that the food here is so delicious,  Here are some more pictures for your viewing pleasure.

Some pictures

Today is a rainy day here on the island.  It appears we did not come at the best time of the year here.  It has been pretty rainy since we arrived.  Luckily there have been a few sunny moments so we got to do some climbing and spend some time and the beach.  Hopefully it will clear up later this week!  Here are some photos for everyone!
Gondola ride in Venice!  So nice.


Best meal of the trip.  A great little spot in Venice.

Adam with our cute little car in Arco.  We just might have to get one of these babies imported :)

Climbing in Arco

The view from our hotel in Mallorca.  It´s fun to watch all the crazy sail boats and yachts come in.


Es Pontas in Mallorca.  Lots of cool climbing on this arch but it proved to be difficult to get to without a boat.

no words for this one :)
