So I had my fill of tall Cathedrals and Spanish streets; crowded museum and noisy tapa bars. I also had my fill of salsa and Spanish lessons. I just wanted to take advantage of the fine palma de mallorca weather with abundant free sunshine and miles of deserted sandy beaches.

I conceived pictures of myself mingling with the sea birds and playing with the waves alone while we were driving from palma de mallorca airport. On my second day of my vacation I will make that dream come true.

So I wake up early to seek the solitude I wanted. To my disappointment a group of young teens already grab my plans of spending an hour of pure solitude. They maybe woke up earlier than me. The young girls were cheering while the young boys were playing a rough game of volleyball.

So, I stood and watched the progress of the game. The sun is slowly shining brightly to shower palma de mallorca with its bright radiance. When the ball suddenly rolled over near my feet and I picked it up and gave it a very strong and nice toss over the net to the surprise of the tanned Spanish boys.

The boy them said, “¿Quiere unirse a nosotros?”, and I responded, “Why not?” So the game started and the boys were at first treating me like a true lady; it was far too late before they realized that they are facing a real volleyball pro for now my team scored 3 notches higher that the other team.

Then the real game started, it was a close game. The sun is beating so hot on our faces before we call it quits. They shook my hand and bade each good bye. Though, I seek the planned solitude the next early morning; it was a day well spent in one of he beaches of palma de mallorca.

It was a place that anybody could easily find in any palma mallorca map; yet the experience, company and the fun I experience is once in a lifetime. A vacation in a Spanish land; a vacation in it truest sense!
