Hello from Majorca!!






This is the view from my apartment in Palma Nova and this is Kim, Charlie, Luke and Jeremy Steeb... My hosts! The boys are amazing kids, so smart and sweet!

Okay all here goes the start of the 6 week long trip I have just landed in to teach in Spain!! I am on my 6th day in Spain and the jet lag has finally worn off... I was fine the first two days and of course foolishly thought I had beaten it! AND THEN... I was riding back from the studio after teaching my 3rd class in 1 and a half days, and the ride is quite a hike I might add... But I got lost. It's an island and I got lost!! In my own defense it is a VERY big island and I had been riding, and I ended up in front of the King of Spain's palace and there were men with guns and I was suddenly VERY aware I wasn't in Kansas anymore so to speak and pulled over, to a quiet secluded spot and cried... I called Kim who is the owner of the studio I am teaching at and she rushed over to rescue me knowing I was SPENT! As soon as I looked around I felt so silly, I DID know exactly where I was, I had just gotten turned around and then it hit me... This is jet lag, that 5 year old, I need a nap but instead I'll cry feeling... Come on, we've ALL been there...

Anywho moving on... My place is amazing. A cute very white very beachy apartment on the 10th floor 1 block off the beach. It is in a very touristy area so I keep somewhat to myself as the Brits with beers and red faces pass... But most of the day I'm in Palma the city which to my surprise is VERY sophisticated. It feels very much like a tiny section of Paris and on the water so it is soooo beautiful... I don't have that many pictures yet but will be trying to post regularly to this blog... AND JUST MAYBE this trip will get me in the habit of blogging finally!!

Here are a few pics to enjoy for now but check back soon... Like Mom and Dad and Grammy!!! Put this in your toolbar and it will be the catch up, then we can focus when we have individual chats, yes???

Big love to you all, and hope to speak to you all soon!
