Spain, Continued

Tarragona was great, except for the car vandalization incident (we got the car window fixed). There was a beach just a few minutes walk away that was beautiful. The streets in Spain were very clean, and all of the buildings were new and nice where we were. The streets and driving were good, too. In general, it seemed much more like the U.S. than Italy did. 

       

The tournament site was awesome, as it had a playground right next to the stadium court where the guys played their tennis match. That is always a big bonus for me! Dann and Brian played a decent match, but ended up losing first round. 

                                    

So, off we headed to Denmark!

Bad Luck

Someone broke into our car this evening. It was parked at the tennis club in a busy parking lot, where Dann and Brian were practicing. They took our GPS, DVD player (both of which were hidden), the tennis racket stringer, a tennis racket, and Dann's backpack. That's all we know of for now. They broke the window to get in, so we are working with the police and car rental company to know what to do with the car now.

The good news is that we still have our iPhones, wallets, passports, and computers, since none of them were in the car. It could have been much worse. 

The DVD player had the movie "The Testaments" (a religious movie about Jesus and the Book of Mormon) inside it. I hope whoever took our stuff watches it. 

Tarragona, Spain

We celebrated Dann's birthday yesterday (he is now 33) by driving all day! Yea! Actually, it wasn't too bad. Bella is making up for all of that screaming she has done in the car by being an angel on our past few road trips.  

We made it to Nimes, France at about 1:30 a.m. and stopped for the night. This morning we drove the rest of the way here to Tarragona, Spain. In all, it took us about 15 hours of driving. Dann downloaded General Conference on iTunes since we weren't able to listen to it live, and we listened to it while we drove. Technology is so wonderful, as was Conference. 

Again, we are right on the coast. The tournament hotel is great, and I am so excited that we have internet in our room! Also, there is a park just across the street that Lily, Bella and I checked out a little while ago. I am sure we will visit it again! 

Dann and Brian did not play today, so will probably play their first round tomorrow (Tuesday). They ended up losing in the semifinals of the Napoli tournament on Saturday. We are hoping for another good week!
