Day off impressions...

The participants take the day off in different sites around the island...


Scott – Eating sobrasada for the first time. It was an act of being introduced, at the age of 27, to what has always been my favorite food. That must be what it is like to find a soul mate.
Ps. I don't have a camera.



Fiona – A rollercoaster ride in a Citroen 2CV (Dos Caballos) back in time to the Talaiots of 1000 BC.


Martin – Negligible stress...


Emily – Staying in Michel Angel's 300+ year old country home feels like a scene from L'Auberge Espagnole (The Spanish Apartment) or The Real World, but just replace the drama and scandal with the pitter patter of languages. When all 11 of us sat down for the first time for dinner, arguing about Spanish translations and prying the rascally Chicero (the cat) off the table, you could feel that family feeling in the air.

Florence – The old stone house with its ghosts and all the amazing moments spent in it.
