More Churros, Please
Alex learned all about churros and chocolate on this trip and quickly became addicted. In this picture, he had finished off the last churro and was quite distressed.

The Roman Ruins of Baelo Claudia, Bolonia, Spain
On our last full day in Spain, we traveled to Bolonia (about an hour and a half from Alan's parents' home) to visit the Roman Ruins of Baelo Claudia. The ruins, which are amidst an active archaeological dig, are of a fish salting community situated between the Atlantic Ocean and the mountains. The ruins are wonderfully preserved from the basilica to the theater. Perfectly arched walkways, artistically carved steps, and beautifully constructed pillars make you realize just how advanced the Romans were. The town was developed about 2000 BC as a maritime link to Tangier. The museum at the site houses much of the sculptures that have been uncovered, but the grounds allow visitors to get a glimpse of ancient life. Alex loved exploring, as did the rest of us.

New Friends--Barbecue in Puerto
Alex met several new friends at the barbecue we had on Sunday--Leire, Bruno, and Helio. Leire kept kissing the boys but all Alex was interested in was a hug.
