Rain in Spain

You would expect Spain to be sunny. Well – that is not the way it welcomed us. When we landed the sun was hidden with a coat of white fluffy clouds and raindrops pitterpattered down everywhere. But I don't complain, because Spain is a beautiful place, no matter what the weather is. The orange trees down the streets, the big bushes of exotic flowers and the sweet smell of the sea. Did you know that palm trees can live up to 200 years? Incredible! What else is so incredible? That parrots fly free on the streets. Ok, not the big red ones but they are really sweet. They are green with little red beaks and sing on the top of the palm treet. Not that sweet kind of song like the nightingales though.
