Yesterday one of the teachers from school was taking a tour group to Aranjuez, a town about an hour south of us, to tour what was the spring palace of the King and Queen of Spain. I'm still not clear on exactly which kings and queens used it, but I know I read something about King Philip and King Ferdinand/Queen Isabella. Now it is a museum and open to the public.
p.s. - we really do have a job. I'll post more on that this week. :)
Our group. Two teachers from ECA and two Spanish families whose children attend ECA. It was good to spend some time with them.
Both Flat Stanleys came with us.
"King Carlos - 1775"

I think the grass was their favorite part. We don't have much grass in Camarma.
Flat Stanley also enjoyed picking dandelions with Rachel, something she hasn't done since we got here - again, because of the lack of grass.

One of several bridal photo shoots while we were there. Understandably so, as this place is so beautiful!
A duck pond.
The gardens were breathtaking.
Waterfall.
No, No, Mathis!
Throughout the gardens, there were many labyrinths formed out of shrubbery. The kids had a blast. So did Flat Stanley. :)

Keri, I love your blog! The pictures of the palace and grounds are great. I pray for you and your family. You and David are an inspiration to all at HPC. We all miss you, but know God is using you to build his kingdom!
Love, Margaret Martin
