Mallorca

I'm happy to be in a Spanish speaking country. I can read menus, street signs, and all of those types of regular things better. I also get to practice my most awesome "Gracias" again. I got into Spain last night pretty late, and then had the morning off. I walked around and found the closest Western Union, and then went back to the hotel so I could take a swim in their pool and use the sauna while I had time (and to relax)

The pool is pretty small. I think the average backyard pool might be bigger, but it was very nice, just not for actually swimming in. I did some floating on my back, diving underwater, and some general splashing around. I also did a handstand and a couple of somersaults which was pretty sweet. I haven't done that since High School on a choir trip. Good thing I was the only one around! I also went and sat in the sauna, which is kind of strange. I'm always paranoid of getting shut in those places, so it took a little while to relax.

After all that splashing around I took a shower and headed to work. The HQ is pretty much what you might imagine after being in a store or looking at their website. Really nice, open and kind of "Dot Commish" Everyone that I met was really nice though, which was good. I'm learning all about their inventory tracking systems tomorrow.

After work, I walked around for a bit and took a few pics before it got dark.

those streets would tempt me to get into a jason bourne or ronin style car chase.

Sweet.

Soak it in.

Looking forward to your dip in the Mediterranean.
