Spain and the Pit

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARY!!!

(now go on over and give her some birthday lovin')

********************************************************************

When I made our spontaneous plans for our trip Greece, I told the travel agent that I also wanted to go to Spain this year (P said she only wants to go to the beach this year). She said she'd keep looking for something for us. She called yesterday and asked if we would be interested in visiting Salou, Spain, on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea.

As with the iPod purchase, the stars have lined up again:

I was informed that Universal Studios Mediterranea is located there, it's called Port Aventura and there is a huge water park next to it called Caribe Aquatic Park.
I got a really great deal on a hotel.
I got an even better deal on airline tickets.
Salou is about 30 minutes from Barcelona.

It's settled, we are off to Spain, in May! Our summer itenerary is now complete.

Someone emailed me and asked if I would post a picture of the BAP (Big Ass Pit), to show how big it is. Since it is Thursday, and Mary's birthday, I will happily oblige!

**The Eating Machine was not harmed in any way, shape or form.**

*it also has 3 tiered racks that go inside*

Why is the BAP in the house, you ask? Because before I put it outside, I wanted to get a cover for it. The place on base that let me buy this monstrosity didn't have any until yesterday, and since it's illegal for the Germans to to transport gas containers in their cars, they don't sell gas grills or covers for them off base. So, it's no longer inside furniture, but outside on the patio, waiting for me to catch one of the wild boars (they patrol my village in the middle of the night) to grill.
