Ronda, Spain

 Ronda is a place that we have always wanted to see. The Greens were supposed to come with us, but Shawn had a case of food poisoning from the day before so they decided to stay near their place and relax.
Ronda is where bullfighting all began. It was fun to walk around and learn more about it.
They only have a fight once a year at that ring.

 The kids pretending to be bulls.
 Where the bulls hang out before the meet with the matador.
 The rectangular metal covers on the floor open up to each of the bull stalls below. We overheard a woman talking and she said they spear the bulls through this to wear them down before they meet up with the matador.
 This is for my nephew, Tommy. This gun museum had guns from the 1500's and up. It was amazing to see!

 The gorge was amazing! The beauty can't even be captured on camera.

 Grace took this photo...thought she did a pretty good job.


 Ice cream break!

 After we got back to the resort we played golf, ping pong and badmitten.
These family times are the ones I'm going to remember the most.

Grace has been really practicing how to tie her shoes. She is determined to learn it and will do it over and over again. Time to get out the bi-colored laces so she can do it herself.
 We got calamari for dinner and AJ loved it!
