Mallorcan MacKenzie

Shoeless

The day Mason forgot his shoes I was not happy. Look at the gleam in his eye, however.

Pool

Some favorite pool shots from the house in Santa Eugenia...I love the ones of Ulli and me dunking Felix. It might have taken two of us, but we did teach him some respect, I believe. Yet somehow Cindy can manage to swim without getting her hair wet...at least some of the time.

Sights on Mallorca

Departing

This is our only full day on our 2.5 week trip where it's just the four of us. We are on the ferry to Dénia, where we will spend the night. Tomorrow we head down the coast of Spain to Mazarrón, where we meet our new exchange student, Borja, and his family. But today we are enjoying just being four and a nice boat ride.

We told the Urbans to pick any place in the world and we would meet them. As it turns out, they picked Borja's birthplace, Mallorca. We took this as a sign that this is the vacation of new beginnings.

So far all of our plans have worked out great. The one day that Cindy and I spent at the computer planning details has paid off (so far!). For this ferry, the difference between coach and first class was nominal (about $5-10 per ticket), so we opted in. Turns out it was a good idea! Five hours until Dénia and we all have enough space to relax.
