Hi everyone! I went to the Cathedral on Mallorca over the weekend... So beautiful but the inside was closed because at Easter, the whole week prior they take out all the statues and literally parade them around the city. Life size statues of the story of Jesus being put on the cross surrounded by men and women in cloaks of white and black that I would liken to that of the KKK... WELCOME TO SPAIN!! I'm not gonna lie I didn't watch much of the parades, kinda creeped me out... :) All due respect but seriously it was scary looking.
The rest of this weekend it has been a good thing to be in Palma Nova which is a little further out from the city and a more touristy area, but because it is such it has remained open all over. So that was good, I have still been able to eat and be out and about even though the rest of the city is shut down.
Then last night hit! There was a storm that rolled in around Midnight and my apartment being on the 10th floor I literally thought I should take shelter!! It felt like the windows were going to blow in and roof was going to come off! I DID discover however what the handy mental curtains on the outside of the window were for! Although after that they continued to rattle ALL night long... Hence I slept till noon today! On my second Cappuchino as we speak!
Well that's all for now... I'm going to sit down and have a nice long discussion with one of my new best friends, Bocadillo... (it's a little sandwich that has been keeping me in very good company while I'm adjusting) Good thing I'm running and practicing so much!! Haha...
Lots of love and more soon!
