Jumping off cliffs

The Little Black One at the Monastery

The walk to the beach

Thinking about it...

Jumping into the sea

25 feet down...YEEHAW!
Today we had another wonderful day in Mallorca.  In the morning we went to the Monastery de Lluc to see the blue choir boys sing, but they had already finished so we just looked around the church.  In the church there is a statue of the "Little Black One".  The story goes that the little black statue kept moving to different spots and finally the people built the church around it. That's a cool fact!  I was super hot up at the monastery and was happy to go back to the beach.  On our way to the beach our floatie popped :(  Instead of buying a new one, my mom bought us each a net and a bucket to go fishing.  On the way there we saw a big place to cliff jump into the water so we decided to do it too.  First I went from a medium high cliff, then a higher spot, then a higher spot and then finally I jumped from the top!  It was so so fun!  And very high!  When we got to the beach we went to try and catch fish by feeding them graham crackers.  There were tons of fish swimming around but we weren't really good enough to catch one.  Then I went to my towel to take a rest.  And Mia came back with the bucket and there was the tiniest fish you could catch!  It was so cool!  We let it go right away so it would still live.  Then I played with some English kids and we gave them our fishing nets when we left because we couldn't take them with us and we were leaving in the morning.  Then we walked home and Grumps bought us an ice cream on the way.  After a swim in the pool we went to a seafood restaurant and ate seafood!  Then we went home to bed.
