Food, siempre food y más!

Sliding down the dune and hiking up again,

exhausting!

Marvellous, isn´t it!?

I think the picture can speak for itself!

Oh no, it wasn´t just me who was hungry!

Have a look at the back,

German beer culture is everywhere.

I know, it´s impossible to resist.

Look what happened!

A house on the beach, a glas of Sangria, all that´s

missing now is food, but here it comes!

Doesn´t this look healthy, but I´m

afraid it´s not. Guess what, it´s Sangria

(a mix of lot´s of red wine, lemonade,

Fanta orange, apples and oranges)

"Vamos a Mallorca otra vez!"

Chicas in "Cala Pi", once again another beach

That´s personally my favourite, even reminds

me of Canada :-)

Just another pretty view on Alcudia Bay

La Droga "Felicidad"

No, don´t worry about me, I am not on drugs. I think the way I feel right now is even better than being on drugs (I guess, I have never tried it of course!!! By the way, I even gave up chocolate, at least for the moment). Seriously, my life here is fantastic and I couldn´t be happier. Everyday I am enjoying sunshine and I don´t think I could ever get sick of it. I go skating on the beach while watching the sunset and there is always a light breeze. What else, I also feel like I am more social than I have ever been in my entire life. There are always people around me and I really enjoy their company.
But maybe I should comment a little on my photos down there! First of all, those are just a few photos from my trip to Menorca, but I hope you will enjoy them. Anyway, it takes about 2 hours from Port de Alcudia (on the eastern shore of Mallorca) to Ciutadela (on the western shore of Menorca). When we arrived in Ciutadela there was this wonderful light due to the sunset (as you can see on the photo!). The first thing we did, we rented a motorcycle and then went straight into a Tapas Bar. Mmmmh, I love tapas: fried octopus, austers, fried potatoes and liver, majonaise with garlic, more types of sea food, baguette and along with that a nice Galician wine, what else could one wish for (see photo!). After that we headed off to our first "hotel". We always chose the hotels with "vista al mar" (ocean view), of course! Guess how much we paid, nothing. We all brought our sleepingbags along so that we could spend the nights on the beaches under skies full of stars. It seriously was just as beautiful as it sounds. We got to see quite a bit of Menorca. Those five days also felt like an intensive Spanish course. I spent all the time with Spanish people. I am now starting to adopt to their way of life, I am "afraid". I really try to enjoy the moment and I am being extremely spontaneous these days which might bother a few of my German friends, but I guess they have to get used to it ;-)
Of course, many more things have happened since then, but first let me post some more photos so that I can comment on them!

I hope everyone out there is doing great! Greetings to all of you from the wonderful island of Mallorca.

Besitos,
Conny

"Besitos amigos"

Von der spanischen Herzlichkeit habe ich euch ja schon oft genug vorgeschwaermt. Ein gutes Beispiel ist die Art und Weise, wie man sich hier begruesst und verabschiedet, aber Vorsicht, das gilt nicht fuer alle spanisch sprachigen Laender! Die Spanier erwarten generell zwei Kuesschen, sprich auf jede Wange einer. Dazu eine kleine Geschichte. Als ich am Samstag mal wieder auf einer Erasmus Party war und mich gerade mit einigen Leuten unterhielt, kam ein scheinbar Einheimischer auf uns zu, um sich mit uns fotografieren zu lassen. Also gut, aber danach sollte er sich uns doch wenigstens vorstellen. Das tat er dann auch und ich vergass prompt die Tradition: Kuesschen rechts, Kuesschen links, da haute er beleidigt hab. Na ja, wir nahmens mit Humor.
So wird sich also in Spanien begruesst, waehrend es bei unseren mexikanischen amigos schon wieder ganz anders aussieht. Hier ist ein Kuesschen voellig ausreichend. Was aber, wenn man sich gerade auf mexikanische Art und Weise verabschiedet hat und im naechsten Moment einen mallorkinischen Freund begruesst? Ich sag es euch, da kommt man wirklich voellig aus dem Konzept. Na gut, ich hab ja noch zwei Monate, um das endlich mal "auf die Reihe zu bekommen".

Hasta luego!
Eure Conny
