The Barber of Seville




























When we got to Seville, I just had to look for a barber. I walked down some interesting narrow streets. We went to the Alcazar which was huge and had lots of empty rooms. I met Master Yoda and pretended to be him. I went to an amazing park and saw Don Quoxite and his BFF again. I never knew my name was so expensive. I had fun being silly in a giant cathedral and visited Christopher Columbus. I helped our tour guide with my invisible map and got lost anyway. Paul was our Airbnb host and was very helpful. He even helped me rent a Harry Potter movie to watch.

Water We Doing In Portugal?





























   
Our rustic home in Luz near Lagos had horses that could walk wherever they wanted even to our door! Our kitchen had a tiny larder which only I could fit in. One night we had an unnannounced guest  - a salamander! For some of you who are wondering if I am still doing my school work, I am. We went through some very interesting caves in the rocks at Lagos beach. We made a new friend Jose George who took us through the grottoes along the ocean. I nearly got trampled by a national bull and showed Dad where America is across the ocean. I went swimming at lots of fantastic beaches but the best place to relax was the jacuzzi and pool at our hotel in Lagos.

Marvelous Madrid















I had fun on the train to Madrid reading to my stuffies. When I got to Madrid, there was a whole building dedicated to my favourite drink - Schweppes! The parks of Madrid have lots of playgrounds so there are children of all ages playing everywhere. I love tapas especially when it is my favourite kind - pizza. I met Don Quixote and his BFF, and saw a bear trying to break down a metal tree. I tried to get into the palace but I wasn't high class so they kicked me out. We went on an exciting tour and I learned a lot from Sebastian, our guide. It was fun traveling around on the Metro. I had Spanish barbecue pizza and Coke at the Plaza Major. I had an excellent time in Madrid.

Stupendous San Sebastian (Say It Five Times Fast)




























San Sebastian is a beautiful city. My favourite place was the beach. The waves were big and fun to play in. We visited a fishing village and I enjoyed eating Basque pizza. We went to a weird looking museum called the Guggenheim that was full of crazy art like a giant spider and a dog made out of a hedge.
