Palma de Mallorca

I am not even going to try and recap everything that has happened to us since we arrived in Mallorca because that would be like writing a novel and Evan already did a nice summary on his travel blog: http://tekstravels.blogspot.com/

Today is Sunday so essentially nothing will be open besides a few restaurants. We were going to be in Manacor today but because of bad luck and stupidity we didn't bring our passports to go pick up the rental car last night so that didn't exactly happen.

Last night we watched the Castle Builders do their thing:

This was really cool to watch but terrifying when one of the "structures" collapsed. The way they set it up though, everyone that fell, fell on the backs of the people supporting the base so no one was hurt. The very top of the pyramid is usually a couple 4 year old kids with helmets so it is very nerve racking!

Last night was also the march of the Manifestación, which was basically like Occupy Wall Street. There were a lot of people out marching and there were some cool signs and acts.

Today I am going to try and work on my spanish and botany projects and catch up on some good old Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert so I can see what has been going on in the rest of the world!

Also, Evan and I's spanish has improved immensely since we have been here but we really need to study grammar and new vocabulary to keep up with all the new things we are learning!
