The other evening while waiting yet again to be able to eat dinner (no dinner restaurants open till 8pm), we sat in a placeta around the corner from the house, having a cool drink, and I asked the kids some questions.
-What is something you’ll remember about the trip so far?
Sebastian: Xirimiri, (pronounced Shee-ree-mee-ree), the Basque word for a light, soft rain.
Saoirse: the hike in the mountains (the Sierra Nevadas, just outside Granada).
Mac: “that place when we went to a place where we can eat something.” (I think he was hungry!). He later wanted to change his response to the hike as well.
-What is the most beautiful thing you’ve seen so far?
Seb: La Mezquita in Córdoba.
Saoirse: the view from the mountians
Me: the Alhambra and its gardens, followed by basically every crowded streets of Paris
Mac: “this water fountain”
-What is something unpleasant about the trip so far?
Seb: WiFi going out when I was on the verge of solving the rubic cube
Saoirse: falling on the hike (she just slipped and scraped her leg but is fine)
Mac: “Nothing. Everything I like-ed.”
-What is something you miss from home?
Seb: Internet (do you sense a theme?)
Saoirse: people I know
Mac: my lion and my snake
Me: yoga/classes at the Hot Room and coffee. Yes of course there is coffee here, but I miss my big brewed American pot of it. I also miss my husband and partner in travel crimes, but we will see him again soon :).
