A Lull in the Action: Spain: Day 2

On Tuesday morning we woke up early and headed out to explore Mallorca. First we drove to a glass-making factory, where we watched two men blow glass. They made some of the most detailed and beautiful things in just a few minutes! The shop where they sold their goods was filled with some of the most beautiful glass pieces, and my mom and I each bought a glass olive oil container for our kitchens.

After that we drove along the coast through a few different towns until we reached our lunch destination. We ate lunch at a restaurant on a cliff overlooking a valley town called Soller. The food was great, although it was a little windy so high up! After our lunch we drove through Soller, and walked around a bit before taking a 5 minute long tunnel ride underneath the mountain range to head back towards Palma.

At 5:30 we met with the future ATAD student Federico and his family. They were so nice! We could definitely tell that he and his parents were a bit nervous, but he seems like he will do just great in the U.S.

After our meeting we headed home for a quick shower, before leaving to go to a family party! Alfonso’s cousin was visiting from Barcelona, so we went to his sister’s house and met his four siblings, his nieces and nephews, and his cousin. They were all so nice and I got to practice my Spanish a bit! After dinner we were all exhausted from the long day, so we fell asleep as soon as we got home!
