In Spain (hoping for no rain)

I finally got around to writing a blog post! Sorry about that, I really planned to get one done over the weekend, but I was still working on stuff at the Crawford's house in case they are here next week (I painted the rest of the floor Monday evening after washing all the tile with vinegar to get rid of the residue) because we are in Spain for a week with our fellow Manitobans, the Harders.

We didn't actually try the fries for breakfast but they must be popular,
ice cream cones  and coffee are big breakfast sellers here

Yesterday we spent the day travelling; first we drove to the Kiev-Borispol airport from the village. We left before four am, and had breakfast shortly after six am in Kremachuk. We had been pleased with the roads up til then, but the next hundred kilometers was a lot of bumps and swerving around most of the holes in the road. However we had no flat tires or other car problems so we arrived in the city of Boripol at ten am. Since we had two hours before we needed to be at the airport, we went shopping for towel bars and toilet paper holders for the house at Nova Lena before lunch at McDonalds.

We flew to Paris from Kiev landing as the sun set  and around eight pm got on a bus to the plane to Magala Spain.
















We got the luggage (Garry and I had been urged to check our carry ons for free) and the rental car and drove to Mijas where Steve and Jo went to Bible school. We got to the apartment after midnight and the guys found a place to park the car, somewhere else after we got the luggage out, since we are on a narrow one way street.





We slept in - it was after eight am when we went to find the bakery/coffee shop across the street. We got the exciting email that the Crawfords are going to be able to join us for the ride back to the village from Kiev next week when we return next Tuesday.












Then we went to the school to take in the morning lecture at 9:30 and when  class was over at noon we went to get the car and find a Burger King.

That's right, since the home of the whopper has come to Spain, and not in Ukraine, so we wanted burgers for lunch.

It took a little longer than we thought to get to lunch...
