It is truly delightful to discover my first edition of Majorcas daily bulletin with Boris´s latest wild haircut and travel policies, lifestyles, kids activities and what´s on and up with the weather. A wonderful mixture describing the amber plus plus and minus minus booming Baleares´, calamari adventures, baked alaskas with snowy peaks and mountain ridge appearance, Judi and Stephen´s visit ( but why did no one give Stephen a blue and white balloon..or at least draw him one?), the Darin Discovery page and Catherine ZJ´s sewing sessions with her mother which I look forward to seeing. I have yet much to explore and visit and I can´t wait 4 New Adventures with New Horizons, learning Spanish and about the cultures and traditions of this beautiful and unique island.
