Zenzo's 1st birthday - at the new BioPark

Face off with a Lemur

The new BioPark is very different from the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle - much more focused on the dry & dusty parts of the world - with the highlight being the section on Lemurs, from Madagascar, where you get to enter their habitat and they get to check you out!

Another nice aspect of being here in Valencia, while Isabella is little, is having so many other wee ones to hang out with, from all over the world.

How'd they do that? Re: Google Maps!

Was at the central farmers market and saw the "Google Maps" car... the gal driving got stuck (it was a dead end) but it gave me a chance to take a couple of pics - perhaps I was being photo'd at the same time?

Spanish Mother's Day

A hike around the Sagunto castle (sacked by Hannibal in 219), 20 minutes north of Valencia, in the morning...And in the afternoon, Isabella's first day at the beach.

Learning Spanish

One of the reasons we don't mind staying in Spain, for now, is the hopes that we, Isabella included, will have a chance to learn some Spanish...
Fortunately the above translates well into either Castillian, Valeniciano, Catalan, Basque... English or French!
