More festia stuff







So, like you would not believe it again! Sloan was one of the bands that played on Thursday night in Palma. So of course I had to go and talk to the band after the concert. I spoke with Chris Murphy. He was so funny. After he realized where I was from PEI all he could talk about was did I know his uncle in Georgetown and his mother's sister is married to one of the McLennans. He was too funny. He didn't want us to go. All he wanted to do was talk about PEI and his relatives. He was posing for photos and talking a blue streak to Patti and I. He was shaking hands with some of the girls that were at the concert and saying things to them like 'congratulations on your 12th birthday'. He was a scream. Andrew Scott is from PEI as well. Chris actually grew up in Halifax, but was born in PEI. He is a very nice down to earth guy. We only got one photo of the band.

The woman in the other photo was part of a group of people that we bbq'ed with. Literally, there is barrels cut in half, on stands, and everyone just bbqes and has fun, Cops everywhere and families and friends eating and sharing everything. Lots of wine and good fun. No worries. Everyone had the same agenda and we did not have any concerns about getting hassled or a fight breaking out. It definately makes for nice relaxed fun and of course, the weather helps. She was plying me with wine and her family was giving us food and 'figs with anise' wow, was that good. We were out till 4 in the morning but it was a great time. Notice the tower and the wall behind us.

We went for a large walk on Friday, during the day, and then watched the fireworks that night from the port. After hauling our asses out of bed this morning and leaving our floating hotel, we made it back to Calvia by noon.
