Makin' it in Mallorca

Though we've finally found the promised land of the internet via wi-fi, it's catch as catch can for now and we're still trying to find it more locally. While the web is indeed world wide, access to it is not so much....at least not for those that aren't willing or able to pay for 18 month contracts. :-) For example two nights ago we found some kick butt signal, but it was at a cafe where my hamburger and fry meal was 20 without a bevy! Needless to say, as I prepared to send our update, I hit the critical lowbattery signal and the dreaded 'no signal', at the same time! Our luck thus far, but it will improve. Now I'm coming to u via my blueBerry...I love this thing.
Yesterday we celebrated our first full week in Mallorca and we managed to spend 3 days on the beach, 2 days cleaning the house and figuring out our french, manual-less washing machine and other random things like hot-water, 2 days touring the island and multiple afternoons/mornings/nights with superior bowel and esophogal movements. Jordyn got sick on the 3rd morning b/c of the jetlag and overall extreme travelling, and on Saturday I ate some bad seafood which put David on his improper throne for 4 days! Good news is we both lost weight!!! We've even managed to run and bike some miles....very amazing! It was a bit of a pain with the bikes...but COMPLETELY WORTH IT!
We've managed to visit several relatives and friends and they are all very eexcited for the wedding. We've decided to wait till next week to begin seriously planning that out, so we ll keep everyone updated and stay tuned-- we have some really cool ideas.
In the mean time, I leave you with a detail to make you glad you still are paying a little over 4$ a gallon for petro: it cost me 48 euros to fill up our 98 VW Polo. I'll let you do some net research on the car and its petro capacity and the value of the euros to dollars today to figure out what that means $/gallon. Post it when you figure it out....should be AWESOME!
Love and respects- david and Jordyn "the Mallorcan Maven"
