The Palace from the front (royal) entrance
It looks small but I swear it is huge
(I am not going to say it but I just set myself up for a Michael Scott comment there...hahha...Laud you know what I am talking about)
This a picture of the dome
Even more impressive in person
The opening below the dome
Flowers everywhere
(Anna I was thinking of you)
And of course gold everywhere too
(Gazelle I was thinking of you)
So in case you don't follow soccer the Federation Cup Semi-Finals were last Wednesday USA vs Spain. So I decided to take a bet with a Spaniard I know against odds of 1,000,000,000 to 1 that USA would bet Spain. Well turns out USA came out victorious and we won 2-0!!!! The Spanish haven't lost since 2006!!
E celebrating and G drinking his sorrows away
No his Grandma didn't just die, America just scored goal number two!
So we had a "business" engagement on Thursday night...I think Gorka still isn't over the tough loss from the other night.
Elizabeth and I have befriended two really cool girls, Sallie and Patricia, and we had a little girls day at the beach. The water is really warm...a little to warm actually...but it was fun to be out in the sun. Our apartment is seriously a two minute walk from the beach...nice.
Ok I know this picture looks like there should be people in it but Elizabeth, Sallie and Patricia are right behind me....they really exist...I swear
So last night we decided to go to a nice dinner, it was literally the fanciest restaurant I have ever been too. The food was really nice, the company was excellent, the service was great, and there were even a few ducks that showed up ...which was kind of cute until they started popping everywhere.
I had a tuna steak, I really am having a wonderful time I just hate taking pictures by myself.
Obviously, Gorka and Elizabeth are having a good time...awww so cute.
Ummm, the perfect way to end a lovely evening

That's what she said.....That dessert looks bomb.
I didn't know you followed the office. What would michael have said next.... i don't get it. ;)
It was a dry 109 yesterday in Dublin. I was thinking about you over there. It must be hot like that every day, and more often than not, worse. I don't envy you.
Say hi to Patricia and Sally for me.
Thanks to your blog, I vicariously killed 15 minutes of time at work.
Random questions that popped into my head:
1) Why does Gold make you think of me? (It wouldn't have something to do with me being a self-proclaimed gold digger, would it?)
2) Have you found a hair salon out there for bang trims?
(Queries of a genius...)
Laura, Anna, Gazelle, blah blah blah. You didn't mention CASSIE who gave you that dress you are wearing in one of the pictures. HahahaSNORTaha.
