After a brief stop on the coast East of Majorca (in Portocolom), we travelled to Menorca to find our friends of Asfar. Our meeting point was the cala Saldana. It is a magnificent several hiking trails.

MAEL is very curious to see Jesse-Clare mount in the mast. She had been given two choices: to raise to the top with the winch electrical or well climb rappel with the halyard climbing equipment. She took the second option… .. .and she came back exhausted from his adventure. She was quiet the rest of the day!

Jesse-Clare did not hesitate to jump into the water to retrieve a piece of cloth that had fallen in the water. What dedication!

The complicity between these two is so beautiful to see. Cannot do otherwise as having tear to the eye when one realizes the transformation that occurred over the trip.

The beach was very busy the first days while the heat was pleasant day. But it is spoiled by the end…

Water is becoming increasingly cold and the air is frigid morning. Nevertheless, we try to take advantage of the rare moments of heat to last swimming.

Menorca lends itself well to the exploration on foot with children. However, even if Lohan WINS endurance, long marches must often be completed this way. A chance that dad has large calves to support our heavy weight.

Who would have thought that can be fun to catch grasshoppers in the grass to then offer in food to this small Falcon? It gives the taste to become Falconer…

A beautiful praying mantis jumped on the calf of Luke during a walk and it was the darling of the day. Charming insect!

This is the beginning of a short-lived love affair. Malheusement, the poor will make the soul in the night.

We take this opportunity to relocate in the Bay nearby, smaller and quieter.
