Carnaval

 On Friday and Saturday 2 major things happened and I'm going to tell you about them!!!



Friday the 14th of March we dressed up for school. I had to dress up as a Roman and Esther had to dress up as a Carthaginian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

    Then we went to school and at like 12:30 the whole school got into a line and we all walked around the town with our costumes on!!! It was really fun there was music and heaps of people watching us and Muma and Dadda were there to!!! Lots of people had instruments like whistles, drums and kazoos. Unfortunately my carnaval whistle broke before the parade :( 









Did you think that was all carnaval was? Nope!

On Saturday the 15th of March at like 5:00pm, we put on a fancy dress and went the town square:| 

And when we got there . . .  There were heaps of people dressed up, really loud music and stores selling beers, lollies, balloons, spray shaving cream stuff and lots of other things! We danced a LOT and got drinks. It was really really fun and I loved it.

We didn't stay the whole time but we didn't get home for dinner until 9pm!!! It was a crazy evening and I could hear the party in the night. 













word of the week Fiesta= party

Location: 11140 Conil de la Frontera, Cádiz, Spain

    G’day from the land down under where Alfred thunders and we can’t to stop the rain but hopefully we will be able to see clearly soon when the bright shiny days come back again.

    I look forward to hearing about your desert adventures from across the sea when you get a chance to put down your thoughts and reflections.

    Tomorrow is April, which seems to have arrived amazingly fast to me. Mind you it also feels like an eternity since you left in the last days of 2024.

    Keep in loving it Gorg.

    Lot of love from the mostly sodden Brisbane two plus the two four leggers

Exploring Spain

On Wednesday the 1st we walked to MACBA and to get there we had to walk past the Sagrada Familia again. MACABA is a famous street skate boarding place. We stayed there for a while then we walked down La Rambla a famous street in Spain and it runs down from Placa de Catalunya to the port. So we walked to the port and across a bridge that took us to the other side of the water. There we found some markets where we bought some olives. After that, we went down to the beach where we touched the Mediterranean Sea and played with the rocks. Then walked down the beach and saw some awesome sand sculptures that we weren't allowed to take pictures of. After that we went to a park and met a girl from Italy who we played with for a while before going to another skate park which unfortunately we didn't bring our skate boards to. Then we went home. The next day we caught the metro for the first time. We took it to a market, then we walked to a special restaurant for lunch. The food was amazin...

 On Monday the 6th it was Esther's birthday... and Pettie, my aunty had come in two days before to see us! We showed her around the city. She was amazed when she saw the cathedrals and the little alley ways. Next on the list we Esther's birthday but first was the 3 Kings Parade. The people in the parade were amazing, the way they knew what to do and just the way they danced and used their costumes. But it was also from  6 o'clock to 9 o'clock so we had to go to sleep a couple of minutes after it.  The next day I woke up first. Then it was Mummy and Daddy. We silently put the 3 Kings presents in the loungeroom. When Esther and Aunty Pettie woke up, we opened the 3 Kings presents. A soccer ball for Esther and a tennis racquet for me. There were two mystery presents each too. We both got a Sagrada Familia sticker and a bucket of lollies! But the presents weren't done yet. I still had to hide Esther's birthday presents! So Esther and Mummy went outside the apartment...
