I always thought it was full of larger louts (english barflies) trying to get laid after drinking cheap beer, staying in 1960's concrete high rises. Although some of that exists in very small pockets, what we found was a very beautiful island full of history, culture, wonderful natural scenery, friendly people and fantastic fresh food. The baloos have fallen in love. Little did I know how much I would learn about my own heritage. As a native Californian living in Europe, what I discovered was the roots of my beloved state. Mallorca culturally could be argued as the birthplace of California. Below is a small (well 254 photos is much less than the 700 we took) selection of the highlights with comments. It took a while to do, so I hope you enjoy! <a href="http://www.kodakgallery.co.uk/Slideshow.jsp?mode=fromshare&Uc=56a8td25.12oihbmt9&Uy=-l6vbc9&Ux=0&localeid=en_GB" target="_blank">http://www.kodakgallery.co.uk/ Slideshow.jsp?mode=fromshare&Uc=56a8td25.12oihbmt9&Uy=-l6vbc9&Ux=0&localeid=en_GB</a> We definately will be coming back...

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Thanks Mater4, I am glad you liked them. I think I annoyed Sarah a little because it took so long to do, but I wanted to edit and label them before I forgot where everything was. I am glad people are enjoying them.
Originally Posted By Ursula I will look at the pictures later (at work) but were there a LOT of people there from Wheel of Fortune? It seems every time I see that show, that is where the winner gets to go.
Originally Posted By ajnhollysmommy The kids were screaming that they were hungry but I could not tear myself away from these beautiful pictures, so they are now wasted away to nothing LOL Thank you for sharing, they are just beautiful!

I'm working on my 5th album, still have to do captions then an online album.

Originally Posted By irishfan Great pictures Dave. I felt just like you when I went to Cyprus for a wedding this year. I had visions of ugly high-rises, British/Irish pubs, seedy resorts etc, etc. I'm sure that exists, but it all depends on where you go. I ended up having a great time, driving into the mountains, visiting quaint little villages and monasteries.

The trip report is uh, looking like it might be in jeopardy, but I'll try!

Originally Posted By TDLFAN Cool trip report from you Dave. Thanks for sharing those pics... makes me want to Spain all the more since I have never been, which is a shame since my ancestors are from Spain... Cool country, with handsome men who speak spanish with a heavy Z.
