Flamenco dancing

When in Spain .....

Zoe had her first flamenco lesson on saturday morning. Right up her alley - lots of stomping! So - we are now on the hunt for a flamenco skirt and shoes at the markets before lesson 2.

Wow Zoe ... Emily will be sooooo jealous of your new dancing moves and I suspect the bright skirt you will wear. You will have lots to show her when you get back.... bring on the concerts at home.
Sounds like you are having lots of fun.
Hunter, you and Emily will have to count your freckles together.
Jacob wishes he could have seen the fireworks on at the opening.

Lots of hugs
Jacob & Emily

This is the best way to visit daddy - 45 min bike ride down the promonade. You have to look out for trees and spanish ladies (Hunter found out!!)

Gullivers Travels

Gullivers Travels
In the old river Turia (river redirected long ago after continuous flooding) there are lots of playgrounds and bike tracks. The kids are playing on a huge giant Gulliver. There are lots of slides and stairs and ropes to climb. If you look hard you can see Gullivers head behind - the kids are standing on his arm.

The Spider Web

The Spider Web
A huge rope spider web on the beach is very cool to climb up (Mum only spent a very SHORT time at the top!!!)

Glad we were there at 1pm and not 12 noon. The bell chimes on the hour.
