Day 6
Cueva Nerja
June 23, 2016 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
We made it to see the caves. It was cool to see the worlds largest speleothem (stalactite/stalagmite colum from ceiling to floor) (42m). We were slightly disappointed, however, in not seeing the prehistoric drawings because they were too faded and required a special light to see.Read more

K: facts from Cueva Nerja
June 23, 2016 in Spain ⋅ 🌙 22 °C
Today we visted Cuerva Nerja. I learned:

- People used to catch fish with spears.
- The caveman found the cave.
- The ghost room was named because a group of stalagmites casts ghostly shadows on the walls.
- There is a room called the waterfall room because it was one of the rooms formed by water.
- One room shows a model of the men and women who came to the cave to get water and you can still see a jar that was used 4,000 years ago
- Stalactites are crystals formed by water hanging of the ceiling
- Stalagmites are crystals formed by water but builds up from the ground
- The cave was formed by water
- The cave men drew in red animals and symbols on the walls that can only be seen with a certain lightRead more

Day 7
St. John's Eve
June 24, 2016 in Spain ⋅ 🌙 22 °C
Tonight we experienced St. John's eve which is apparently much celebrated in Spain. I don't have good wifi but, from what I could tell, it is related to the summer solstice festivities of the pagans many years ago.

We were getting to bed when we heard much commotion outside (mind you, this was just before midnight). From our balcony, we observed that the beach was crowded with party goers who were near the water as the clock turned to midnight. Some folks entered the water for a swim while in other areas fireworks boomed for another 20 minutes. Bonfires raged on the beach and it appeared that fire-lit lanterns were launched into the sky.

One of the great things about traveling is experiencing the unexpected and seeing the locals celebrate this festival was a worthwhile experience!Read more

Day 10
Off to Venice!
June 27, 2016 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
We're flying to Venice through Madrid, leaving from a small (4 gates) airport in Granada. It looks like our flights are on time and we're hoping for a smooth transit to our first stop in Italy! Wish us luck as we go on our first oversees adventure to a non-English speaking European country! Being in tourist zones will certainly make this easy, right?

It was interesting that the airport security didn't bother checking our picture IDs. It made for an easy passthrough but the line wasn't long anyway. I guess we look like a trustworthy family.Read more
Tricia Boyd Funny how small airports can be so memorable. I can't wait for the next part of trip. The updates and pictures are wonderful for us who may never get to go to these places. I am hoping my daughter uses this app for her trip in two weeks to Croatia and Poland for World Youth Day.

PSGK-A Croatia and Poland sound awesome! The app is nice but can be glitchy! Pretty ease to use but has 6 photo limit per post...great for a free app though!

Jinx

It looks like i jinxed our flight! We're taking off at least 45 minutes late and hoping to still make our connection! Let's hope the computers continue to communicate with the engines for the duration of the flight! :)Read more
