Hotel Bon Sol and Happy Father's Day

Here is a link to our hotel's web site.

Hotel Bon Sol

We are having a great time. yesterday we went into the city of Palma and did some exploring there before our friends the Mobleys arrived. Palma is an oddly beautiful city. Lots of roads that kind of wind around and buildings that are from another time. We hit the main market with the fish and meats and the beautiful produce. We picked up a few unusual things--peaches that were flat and shaped like little donuts, green plums and little tiny strawberries. It was all so inexpensive. I wonder what the health stats are for people in Spain. The wonderful fresh food that is available is amazing.

Maddie picked out a "luxury float" from one of the shops near here. The kind that has head and arm rests and a hole toward the bottom so you can stick your feet in the water. I was out floating the waves on it yesterday. It was such a perfect feeling that I decided I needed to capture it in my memory so that I can access the feeling in the future. Am going to try float a little more today to make sure that the experience is firmly planted in my brain.

Last night, the hotel set up dinner outside by the pool and had entertainment--a guitar player, a singer and a set of four flamenco dancers. Maddie and her friend Megan were completely captivated by the dancers. The weather was just perfect.

I brought my camera, but failed to bring the card reader that allows me to upload them to my computer. Will have to share when I get home.

Today, I am grateful for my father and for my daughter's father. Maddie and I both have really great dads.
