Spain is a real eye opener to the world. I never thought I would find myself in a situation where I was a minority. I understand that sounds terrible, but it's true. As ignorant as I may be; I am finding it exceedingly difficult to be in a country and not be able to communicate with anyone. Not only can I not speak or understand Spanish, but here most people also speak either French or German. I blame the Canadian education system, and partly myself for not making more of an attempt to learn French.I miss English conversations most of all, but thank goodness for books.
The island Mallorca is exquisite. For some reason I never expected there would be mountains, and they are so beautiful. Tropical trees never fail to amaze me, and the constant sunshine is definitely something I can live with. My days might not be as historically rewarding as they were in England, but I will not be complaining about the swimming, snorkeling, or tropical fish. You'd be surprised how quickly you get use to the taste of salt water, and the jellyfish stings. I will have to adventure out to the city at least once to see the Cathedral there. I am quite content to relax for the next month, and I am positive I will have the most wicked tan of my life.
