this is my fav cafe in palma. perhaps it's because i've never been in it and the allure is alwas there. undiminished. untainted.
i told myfriend after i saw it and after i took a shot of it. he said, lets go in.
i said no, we shouldnt. cos some beautiful things, like this cafe, should only be seen n experienced from a distance but u never participate in it. only from a distnace.


i passed by this residence in the old town. i liked the rich terracotta colour. love its richness and the way it spoke to you, humbly. i want this for my house. somewhere. perhaps in the kitchen. yes, e kitchen. not anywher ein e house. just e kitchen. somehow, the kitche is a place for me to retire to, to do my work.



i cant forget this shot of valldemossa. we were walking in e maze of residences, walkig past clouds of curious and some, more hostile stares, seeing pots of flowers hung on the walls of these homes. one particular one, this one, stood out.

siesta hour, we passed the other side of town, across the old town, in another maze. saw this shop, selling household decorative items, quite a fair number in palma. lovely decorative stuff. took e shot from outside the shop window.

sat at this cafe during siesta at soller. the town was a ghost town. so empty. when i got off e bus, i was so shocked. regreted not having gone to deia stop instead. pity. then walked past this super designer hotel in e midst of nowhere - L'AVENIDAS - then finally saw civilisation!

sat here after walking around the small town square. it was really authentic. smoky environment, apple pie and muffins, next to us, as we sat ext to the window, listening to the 'hola's coming from e clients who i was wondering, why werent they going home to spend time on a christmas eve dinner.

on e last day in majorca, everything was shut. still xmas day. and i walked so friggin far. walked and just somehow ended up halfway back e distance from my hotel at palmanova to la seu. walked up the slope and e roads to castell de belver. e view was stunning but of course, most parts of the views were yucky. but some views were worth it tho. lke this one. u got to see far away into the distance. the sea and sky were one and you cant make out where sea or sky ends. the sea just melts into the sky above or the sky just hovers below the sea.
