Palma...Walking, Eating, and Discovering

After touring the cathedral we left with a sense of peace that seemed to permeate the rest of our day. We immediately discovered a fantastic historic garden behind the cathedral and were entertained there by a harpist, an artist painting en plain air, and a beautiful space that included ornamental and edible plantings.

Wandering further we found a labyrinth of ancient alleyways fronted by grand homes, many with glassed in balconies, a feature we have noticed throughout the cities we've traveled to. A stop for lunch includes a pitcher of Sangria (yum!) and the boys found a fun perch overlooking the street. Post lunch includes a candy stop for Ian and the best gelato of the trip for Noah and I (more yum!). We head to the modern art museum through winding shopping streets, and later find our way along the waterfront. A spectacular promenade of Date Palms leads back toward the car park, but not before discovering a beautiful market hall that replaced an older version wiped out by torrential floods several hundred years ago. All in all, a wonderful time in a beautiful part of this city.
