Otívar, Spain - 15th September 2012
By: JunCTionS
Hi everyone!,
This weekend we went on a trip to the countryside, we spent the weekend on a countryhouse with some friends. The view was beautiful, here you can see the small town of Otívar:
Like many Andalucian towns all the houses are painted white and it looks very pretty.
We had a barbecue made in this rustic oven:
and we got to play in the well. We also threw in coins and made wishes.
Cheers,
Sir James

Granada, Spain - 29th September 2012
By: JunCTionS
Hello Mom,
Today we made a very special cake, it was extremely chocolaty, very colorful and pretty.
We wanted to make a nice pattern with M&M candies, so first we practiced on a plate, and after trying several ideas we went with one we found online:
Then, when we felt we were ready, we all helped put in the candies on a chocolate cake we had made earlier. Our hosts shared the cake with some friends and everybody was impressed by our work .
Buen Provecho!
Sir James

Madrid Zoo, Spain - 6th October 2012
By: JunCTionS
Hi mommy,
Today we went to the zoo!
Our hosts had to travel to Madrid and decided to have a fun day at the Madrid Zoo, we saw many animals and it was a lot of fun
Here's me with some eagles:
We also went into a big aquarium building where there were many beautifu fishes:
There were so many monkeys in this pit, it was very noisy and smelly... but there were many cute babies and young monkeys
Look at this nice camel, he's almost as white as I am:
This is my favorite picture, here I am with all my friends and you can see giraffes, ostriches and a zebra:
There were also many bears, sadly no polar bears, but the black bears were very friendly, look at how this one sits and waves for the camera!:
Who says polar bears and penguins can't be friends?, here I am with a nice group of them:
I also got to see some young panda bears!, they are only two years old and their names are Po and De De:
They were very playful and moved a lot, I was very lucky to get a picture of them.
Finally, here I am with my friend Phinook and a flamingo.
I really liked the zoo, specially the bear that waved to the camera!
Love,
Sir James

Hello from glamorous Marbella!
It is a very pretty city, but we didn't take many pictures, we tried to just relax.

You can see a bit of the mediterranean sea on the left of the first picture.

Hi Mommy!!!
Today Capote was leaving to Indonesia! I'm very excited for him, he was a bit sad to say goodbye but I gave him a big hug to keep him warm during his trip.
Bye bye Capote, I'll miss you!

Granada, Spain - 7th December 2012
By: JunCTionS
Hello mommy,
Here I am, out for another walk in Granada, the weather is getting a bit colder, just how I like it.
The trees have not all changed color yet, so there are many colors and it's very pretty.
In the Paseo de la Bomba there was an outdoors art installation with many wiggly metal tubes, they looked fun!
Remember Granada's Town Hall?
This is the Federico Garcia Lorca park
And here I am with my buddies Elliot and Graham
And in the night, the park's main fountain had a nice light show. It was very pretty
We also went by another branch of the big Spanish store chain "El Corte Inglés", and they had some nice holiday decorations:
That's it for now,
Love,
Sir James

Miami, USA - 6th January 2013
By: JunCTionS
Hello mommy,
Today we travelled again!
Here we are on a Florida highway, going to downtown Miami!
Look at how many skyscrappers you can see far away.
we're almost there!
Hmm... Where to go?
As you can see they're still building even more skyscrappers
Look at all the really tall buildings, there were many of them all over, and each one different and very modern-looking.
At this intersection we saw a trolley car, which is really just a free tourist bus. Sadly today we could not go on it.
While walking around we saw this big human torso at the entrance of a gym, look, I told everyone I was stronger than the statue, and we all laughed.
Oh well, today we also left Miami... here I am at the airport... woah, wait, Mexico City?
hehe, just kidding... here we are at the Barajas airport in Madrid where they still had some holiday decorations. It was a very long flight but I slept most of the way.
And back to the flamenco of Spain, Andalucia, and specially Granada!
Love,
Sir James

Sierra Nevada, Spain - 21st January 2013
By: JunCTionS
Hello mom,
Today we went to the Sierra Nevada mountain range which is really close to Granada, only half an hour away. There was a lot of snow and it was really cold, although not for a polar bear I felt at home.
Here's a picture of me at 3000 m, you can see the clouds below us and you can also see a huge radio telescope! I loved this trip!
Love,
Sir James.
