Spain more Spain then some Spain

 We had one rainy day, which made us feel a bit down.

 So we decided to go somewhere else!

 On a "glass boat", as we used to call them when we were younger. I named one of my dolls after this very boat - Gavina - when I was little.

 The boats have a glass bottom in the middle, where you can see a lot of sand, some rocks and finally - fish!

 There were no fish to be seen at first...

 And then they magically appeared when the crew threw some crumbs into the water.

My cousins, obliging as always, at The Other Beach which is similar to Our Beach, only further away.

We used to go to this exact town in Spain when I was little, so anything I do there brings up memories. The best memory this time was when I bought a pastry I vaguely remembered the look of, and as I bit into it I was transported twenty years back in time and actually started laughing out loud. Not lol-ing, but laughing. Out loud. Ah, childhood memories. 

Now let's get ready for some Christmas time!

Summer throwback

 To my family holiday in Tossa de Mar, Spain, in September. (Not my family on the photo).

 Where my cousin Mats was happy to be photographed at any given moment.

 My aunt Mette tried to find a hat that didn't make her children laugh.

 The mannequins were brilliant.

 I found Atlantis!

 And there were other tourists about.

 You could buy all the bathing equipment you could imagine.

And my cousin Elisa was also happy to have her photographer cousin around.

Stay tuned for more! As I'm writing, it's dark outside my window in Tromsø, the snow is whirling about, and I'm preparing to go visit my sister for Christmas. So why not look back at summer and sunshine? *Pretends it's not because she left blogging off for four months* *Coughs*.

Confused? So am I

Dina last summer

First of all, what happened with time? How did four months just pass like that?

Second of all, why did I ever update to El Capitan for my Mac? Why, seriously why? My entire workflow was broken, and to be honest, that's not the biggest incentive to get back into blogging or to edit photos. At the moment I'm trying to figure out a new workflow for my photos, while at the same time being in a Christmassy holiday mode where I'd rather drink tea and eat gingerbread than shout at my laptop.

Let's see how it goes, shall we?
