    Katie, I did not know how addictive your videos are until one week went by without. You are a bright star on a gloomy night. Thank you for being you. Majorca is great, but the US might be better and certainly has more variety. When are you coming to visit? I can offer Florida, Colorado, and the D.C. area.

    Best if you are staying near Palma is to go along the coast to Cap Blanc then across country to Campios then Felanitx and up San Salvador in early evening, stay the nigh for cheap but especially summer get a west facing room or the sun will wake you at 4.30am! Then ride the hilly roads along the coast next day from cala d'Or up to Porto Cristo and end day with evening meal in Manacor and catch last train back to Palma.
