Below are some pictures I took in Palma today!
A little café that specializes in hot chocolate and ensaïmadas - really good sprial pastries! The café is like over 100 years old!
This olive tree is in the middle of a plaza and is very famous - it is estimated to be more than 800 years old!!!
View of the waterfront, with the port in the background.
This is the interior of the Arab Baths, the only remaining structure from the Moors´700 year occupation of Spain. All that remains of the baths are two rooms - this one consists of 12 columns supporting a dome with skylights. The lights made the room hot - it was the "caldarium" of the baths. The tops of the columns are recycled from other buildings at the time, probably Roman. VERY cool!!
The cathedral of Palma!
This chapel of the cathedral was recently reworked by a contemporary artist. Kind of cool, kind of weird...
That´s all for now!!! Stay tuned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love the pictures! that coffee shop looks perfect. the bath's remind me of the bath's in england except cooler. it was good to g-chat wtih you today!
Sounds like things are going well so far. The pics are beautiful! I think the arrangement at the store/restaurant is going to be just great and there won't be any sort of meltdown. I enjoyed the picture of the packing fun. I was surprised that there wasn't a picture of Izzy in the suitcase, though. Can't wait for more entries and PLEASE, YES have another contest so I can have a winning streak. BWAH!HA!HA!HA! Love, Sean's Mom, Carol
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!
