#1 on Google

Well it is official now. I have my first job here in Mallorca. Well not quite. I am working with a company based out of Toronto Canada that can place any website in the top 3 on Google at all times. So if any of you want to be on top of Google leave a comment for me. We are still looking at import/export opportunities as well as other businesses. As long as we make some dough, it's all good.

Its raining, it's Sunday and everything is closed. What to do? Perhaps we will try to find Raphael Nadal's house in Manacor which is about a 40 min drive from us or maybe just hang out and eat some bread with oil, have some red wine and learn some Spanish from the computer. I guess we will see.

Road Trip Soller-Pollenca

Well hello again, the weather has been pretty ugly but somehow the sun finds its way out for a little each day. Today it is rainy and windy but we will take that over snow any day. Speaking of snow, we are all very excited for the big snow storm expected to hit Toronto. We have added a bunch of web cams from around the city to our favorites online. Perhaps we will even make some popcorn. I have included a video of a little rain and wind here today. We will probably stay in today and deal with our children who are having difficulties listening to Mom and Dad. Anyways we took a trip on Thursday to Pollenca which is located in the Traumantana Mountains. It was the most incredible trip. The roads were narrow and very winding. It was unbelievable how much colder it got as we got higher not to mention wet, damp and dark. We were so high in the mountains. There were very few places to pull your car over to the side even if you had to.  Julie was feeling a little nauseous due to the winding roads and altitude change. As we got even higher, the roads got narrower still. I would never want to travel through the mountains at night. The road from Soller to Pollenca is about 51km. You must drive very slow and cautiously as the winding turns have you turning 180 degrees. The roads were also very slippery and as you get higher up, the roads can freeze and you could slide right off the mountain in certain parts. It is advised to always have a full tank of gas whilst travelling through the mountains. We also saw many lost sheep wandering the roads throughout the trip. We would have a picture but Julie didn't find the sheep particularly thrilling. It was really weird seeing some snow and ice on the side of the road as we got higher in altitude. I said to Julie " At least now it's in our control when we see snow!" We do look forward to going back but at this time of year, you really have to keep an eye on the weather forecast as you don't want to be in the mountains when it storms because when it storms, it really storms! OK, bye for now.
