Boxing Day in Inca, Mallorca


Boxing day was spent with the members (especially the youths) playing basketball. It was a very enjoyable morning with the missionary sisters and other elders from other areas of the islands. The activity was supposed to start at 10:30am, but it all began at 11:30am. I woke up early that morning to make some chocolate and jam "crepes" for refreshments. Even though I did not want to play, I had fun taking pictures of anything I could find interesting around. The activity was held at a really nice park in Inca. It was my first time there, so everything was basically new for me! 
Yummy "Pomme cannelle moelleux" with whipped cream.


I made this "apple/nuts/cinnamon cake" and took it
to the activity 
 I was amazed when I saw these on our way to the park...



In this cold season, the roses were beautiful treasures to me...






 Marques and his bright orange jacket, getting ready to have some fun!




The only snowman in Inca!

Horses as pets... The horse riders were having a hard time controlling their horse away from the rubbish bin.



See Santa? He is climbing the balcony to reach the roof!

People started to put those "Santa puppet" on their balcony
right in the beginning of December.

This beautiful white cat was walking in the street until one of
the youth grabbed it.
 I thought that this couple looked cute! They are statues put in one of the gardens. I thought that they were a great symbol of everlasting love...

Around 2pm, we had lunch with Juan Benasec's family. He is a good friend of ours and he is the one who takes Marques to practice. We had a nice "paella" lunch. It is made with rice, seafood and any kind of meat you want to put in. It was delicious and filling!

Don't you think he could be ours? :)
