We have been having a good time learning about the city and all the goings on of the 32nd America´s cup. We visited the harbour and met Ross Halcrow for a tour of the BMW base. Very cool boats - lots of € being spent around here on the habour, the race. We spent today at the science centre here. The building is spectacular, and the displays are good. David and James are starting to get a bit weary of museums, but fortunately there are playgrounds and big spaces in which to run!
One of my favourite observations of our time in Spain is the interaction between Spanish teachers and their students. There is very little when they are on field trips for sure! Today, we spotted a group of 14 year olds having their sandwich lunch by the fountain. Their teachers were over by the tour bus enjoying their lunch with a bottle of wine and a smoke. This seems to be normal everywhere we´ve gone.
Tomorrow we fly to Italy where we have secured a hostel room North of Pisa, and then a cottage in Chianti for a few days. Don´t know how many posts we´ll get in, so I´ve added a few pictures to this one.
Happy Birthday to Kathy, Grandma Pat and Jill. Best wishes to Craig and Maureen and their family over the next few days. Hope all is well with everyone - send us a note to let us know what´s going on.
