We took the day to celebrate Jeff some more today! We had lunch at a great and very unassuming Michelin-starred restaurant in Cadiz, and came home for cake.

We have been making some epic birthday cakes in the last few years, and this was our favorite one yet! I candied oranges in honey with rosemary and cardamom. The cake was chocolate with chocolate Swiss buttercream frosting and orange slices and marmalade in between the layers. It was also gluten-free, and all sweetened with honey without being too sweet at all! Perfect with iced coffees on a warm afternoon.

We love Jeff, and it was fun to take the time to treat him like a king.🤴

Today we explored beautiful San José! This is our favorite town so far in Cabo de Gata. We had lunch at a restaurant with a beautiful view (first pictures) and then went swimming at the beach in the following photos.

Looking forward to exploring the coast in this area— a nature preserve called Cabo de Gata. Tonight we had dinner in Las Negras. It was such a beautiful landscape!

We’re doing some consolation travel!

Amelia has been looking forward to a two week theater/ performing arts camp for over a year, and it was canceled four days before it was supposed to start. Jeff and I had booked our first (more than weekend) trip just as a couple in 15 years, and were supposed to be heading to Mallorca for the week.
Sigh... all of our plans were canceled, so now we are heading to Almería for a few days to make the most of my time off.

While we are naturally disappointed, we still feel grateful that we have a chance for some adventure and time together as a family!

This jungle is 100% edible! I laid down a bunch of homegrown compost to nourish my plants before my trip, and with Jeff and Amelia faithfully I watering, I came home to unlimited leafy greens and herbs! 🤩
This photo was taken AFTER I did a bunch of harvesting!

It’s time to head home!

My heart is so full. This trip definitely exceeded expectations. I had such a GREAT time with my family for the first week, then had an excellent time at my training this last week. I loved connecting on a deep level with other women who are passionate about supporting women through pregnancy and postpartum, and the training was excellent. I also really enjoyed spending a lot of time with a new friend!

I am ready to hug my family and sleep in my own bed though. Can’t wait to be back home in Spain.
