Today we took our rental car and headed to the other end of the island to the sea.  The views are spectacular with the waves crashing on the rocks and the pretty beaches.  The water is clear and beautiful,colors of blue and blue green.  We traveled up a mountain with switchbacks to see the sea from way above.  Glad I wasn’t driving.  We stopped at a seafood restaurant and had a wonderful fish paella.  And more peppers!  Don’t really want a meal without them.  When we got back to the convent, Father Joe was ready for,dinner, so we walked across the street to a fairly new restaurant to try it out.  It was good!  We had peppers….again, aioli, and we split two grilled lobsters. Walked back to the convent and headed for bed.  

On Sunday, we went to Mass at Father Joe’s parish church a few miles away.  There was a good crowd and I suppose a wonderful sermon, all in Mallorcan.  Father had done a wedding the day before.  It was done at a chapel at a Hilton.  Hilton had bought an old estate and remodeled and restored the old buildings.  There was a huge windmill on the property as well as the courtyard and out buildings.  One was a huge gothic chapel build as a gift to the owner’s wife for having a son.  (All I got was the son!). (But he’s the best gift!). It was built in the 1500’s and was small, simple and beautiful.  We were very glad we stopped there to see it.  We had an (almost) American hamburger and fries for lunch.  The gardens were lovely and there was a big fish pond.  A beautiful spot for a wedding and honeymoon.  We had dinner at the convent and off to bed again.
