How did I get so lucky?!

Last weekend, I went to- what may have been- the nicest beach of my life (and I have been to some pretty nice beaches).  Everyone says that Mallorca, Menorca, and Ibiza are all MUST-SEE islands…and now I know why. RIGHT???

The weekend started after I took my Spanish Nationality exam on Thursday afternoon and then I immediately headed to the airport for a beach weekend!  I wasn´t even worried about the exam.  I was only worried about getting finished and getting to the beach.  You know….#priorities.  The flight went smoothly, but renting the car took quite awhile…and ended up being a weeeeeee bit more expensive than anticipated.  Welp, things happen and it doesn´t really matter in the scheme of things.  We eventually arrived to a (very clean) AirBnB, went to sleep quickly, and woke up to THIS:A little bit overcast on the first day, but it cleared up.

After hunting and gathering some breakfast (seriosuly, I hiked down the mountain to find a supermarket!  A real pioneer, I am), we headed out to find some ugly landscapes to sit in front of.

Success.  😉

The water was completely clear and clean (and cold), but I still swam out and back a couple times, unlike other people…but I won´t mention any names. Here are some more pictures for your viewing pleasure since you are inevitably reading this from your cubicle, in your tempature controlled office with the windows closed.

After hanging out there for awhile, we packed up to get some lunch and then go find another beach!

I wouldn´t call what we found “a beach”, but it was pretty and serene and I decided I want one of those big fancy mansions that sit up on the hill with this view:What do you say, DAD?  Hehe

Next, we stopped for some energy and a walk…

To finish off the night, we drove to Soller (a small town) to walk around and have dinner…

Soller seemed like a nice town, but unfortunately, everything was pretty much closed while we were there.  I hear there are some really nice hikes around there, though.  At least dinner was good!  

And that finishes day ONE!  It was a long day, but so, so, so great 🙂  I think I should split this up into two more posts, so more to come!

Here´s a preview…
