One week after we arrived we decided it was time to slow down and spend some time lying about on the beach. We drove out to one of our favorite places in the world, the beach at Cala Pi.
The beach sits at the end of a long inlet with low cliffs on both sides. A long stairway cut into the rock brings one down to a small beach. But the warm clear water and fine white sand and the beauty of the surroundings makes this a magic place.

After we were done drinking pina coladas and lying about V decided she liked the place so much that she wanted to possess it. So in the spirit of 2000 years of Mallorcan history she launched what was in the end an unsuccessful raid.

Fresh from her defeat we decided to retreat inland toward the town of Llucmajor.
Once through Llucmajor we decided to get really rural.
 |
| The road to the right looks fun. |
 |
| The road gets narrower...no shoulder! |
 |
| Chickens. |
Passed some old buildings along the way:
In the central agricultural region there are hundreds of old windmills used to bring water up from the aquifer.
When we finally made it back to Palma I snapped this picture of the Cathedral as we drove by.
