Colorful Trees???


Last Thursday before Nico went to school he and abuela(grandma) Paloma were discussing trees. Nico told her that trees are green on the top and brown at the bottom. Abuela then said that some trees have colors and Nico thought about it and decided that no they are only green so abuela gave him examples of how a tree would have colors if it had apples or pears or lemons or oranges, etc. So Nico went to school and was thinking about this new idea and decided that at school he was going to draw and color a fruit tree with many colors and this is what he brought home.



Looks like Oliver was hungry watching us have supper.

Trip to Leon


Walking home from supper on Friday night before Samuel, Oliver and I left for Leon in the morning. Yes that is Buzz Lightyear in the middle. Nicolas is in love with him.

Eating in a wine cellar dug into rock hills they turned into a resturant.




The cathedral in Leon at night.


Our hotel, which is a Parador. These are building, monestaries and castles mostly, that the government has made into hotels. This particular one is probably the best of them all and was a monestary.



Our terrace.




From the outside.

This is a building that was made by Gaudi. One of few outside of the Barcelona region.

The cathedral during the day.
