The lighthouse at Formentor, Mallorca

The background shows sidewalk tiles - "rajoles" - that pave the sidewalks throughout Barcelona. They were designed by architect Puig i Cadafalch for the entryway of a home. Since 1915, they have been used by the city to pave sidewalks, and have become emblematic of the city. One of the city's most famous chocolatiers, Enric Rovira, produces chocolate bars in the shape and design of these tiles.

Old Friends

We spent a day in Palma doing interviews - with all of the missionaries as well as a young man who is completing his mission application. After interviews, Elder and Hermana Thompson took us on a short detour to the Castell Bellver on hill above the city.
