Rain rain go away

Grey day...
everything is grey...
I watch...
but nothing moves today...

Kaian, instagramed

1st official beach day

Saturday 5.12.12 was the first hot, calm, wonderful day for the beach...

Getting suited up

Playing...

Wasn't too thrilled to be leaving...

But this yumminess was cooking and waiting to be eaten when we got home...

Nice view ;)

A video update...

The open-air market we went to in France last Saturday...

Kaian dancing to a live band in a plaza in France...

Kaian's first time splashing in the ocean!  It was very cold, so we tried not to let him in too much, but that boy sure does love the water...

Monestir de Sant Pere de Rodes

Just about a 20 minute drive from here atop a 1500 ft mountain is a monastery from the 9th century. Tom drove us up on Tuesday, 'free day,' for an unofficial tour (he loves all the Spanish history and is great at sharing it!). It was absolutely beautiful and quite mind-blowing, knowing how old it all was. There were also some gorgeous views down to the town of Port de la Selva and the Mediterranean beyond. (In case you're wondering where Kaian is in these photos, he stayed behind and had a lovely time with Jan :))

Paella...OMG

Yesterday Tom graced us with the gift of his homemade hand-crafted recipe of Paella. His version includes a combination of chicken, pork, and seafood, along with the traditional rice, veggies and spices, served with lemon slices and allioli (a very popular condiment in this area of Spain).

It was, in a word, A-MA-ZING.

We have leftovers :)

(again, sorry for the mixed up order of photos)
