Foto Fun For Everyone

The following is a random collection of Photos taken over the last several weeks. They are presented in no particular order and certainly not chronologically. Fun Times!

For Easter my darling Mum sent me a big box of goodies! Sadly it hasn't lasted very long and I wish I could blame the children more. The M&Ms and Jelly Bellys were usefull study motivators though.

Allison and Flyn had similar plans. They started scheming this care package shortly after I left. Again the M&Ms were helpful for studying. They also sent me a very welcomed bottle of maple syrup. I make the kids French toast, pancakes, and crepes regularly but I haven't been able to enjoy them because they don't have maple syrup here. The kids use chocolate syrup. Now I too can enjoy breakfasts' finest delicacies. And yes that is a ring! It's a Claddagh ring. =)

I also got love letters. Yay!! Flynn, Allison, and Allison's five year old Macieo all found ways to share their love on paper.

This was a difficult photo to take and a very entertaining picture to watch Jorge try to take. The bus drove nearly all the way around this square and as we went around Jorge turned too waiting for the exact momment to take the perfect picture.

Here is Jorge looking very relaxed on the train in Cordoba.

The Atocha train station is massive. There are ten tracks here taking people all over the city constantly. I like to watch the plateforms from above while I wait for my train. It makes me feel as though I'm a very small part of a much larger world. There are just so many people buzzing about.

Alex and Jorge obviously aren't too tired from the trip to Cordoba.

Raquel and Silvia on the other hand are pretty whipped out. Silvia may not look like it from that grin on her face but she was napping pretty uncomfortable a little bit before this picture was taken.

I gave Jorge my camera for the bus ride from the train station in Cordoba to our hotel. He did a pretty good job, I think. Here is the muddy river.

Here am I.

Hashers heart food... Here is Sister Belinda showing us the proper way to devour a harmless falafel.

Hashers typically get the glazed look in their eyes after a good run, jog, walk, or crawl and a good meal.

It's funny to watch everyone at the table at these lunches. Everyone is always doing something random.

Thomas was leaning against her and I thought this would have made a good double food coma picture but he moved and the lady in black (I'm no good with names) looks too awake.

Here I am on the train heading to Madrid. Jenny and I ended up meeting up with Chris and Ish. The train was unusually quiet that day. It could have been the hour, the direction, the rain... who knows.

Random sightseeing shot while walking with Jenny on Saturday.

Hashing buddies: Sophie, Carl, and Karen at Larry's Bar.

Carl and I at Larry's. Carl looks a little scary there doesn't he?

Chris, Ish, and Jenny after taking several minutes to check the map to find the Flamanco spot.

Jenny was trying to hear whoever she was talking to... I was helping.

Jenny loves James Dean. Hopefully, Humphrey Bogart doesn't get jealous.

I love this city at night. All the buildings are all lit up.

Puerto del Sol. This was taken during a small gap in the passing crowds. Sol is usually so bright and crowded you can never tell how late it actually is. This picture was taken at about 10p... aka very very early in the evening.

Jorge was testing out his photography skills. Here I am with Javier, Raquel on my lap, and Silvia. This was taken on our trip to Cordoba, in the hotel lobby.
