Today is the kids last day of Spring Break and they start school tomorrow , but that wont last long because they are off again Thursday and Friday due to another holiday here in the Valencian Community. I’m not 100% sure but I think on Thursday April 3rd (of this year, I think it falls on different dates every year, always after Easter) is a local Alicante holiday called La Mona de Pascua: It is a day where families gather and it the typical Easter cake called La Mona (yes, the monkey, don’t ask).

In the end it just means another day off from work, school, another day to relax and since it falls on a Thursday then, hey what the hell as they call it here “puente” (bridge) to Friday and that day now too becomes a Holiday. See how easy it is.. You guys must come to Spain where between the local, national and pretty soon International holidays will be part of your everyday.

Today we went to Burger King, which we hardly ever go here in Spain becuase first of all there are not as many as there are in the states, secondly we don’t really want our kids eating junk food to often and third of all it is as expensive or more than a regular no fast food place here. And the price is not the only difference here in Spain, here you could order a beer with your meal.. How about that? ..I would like a kids meal with a beer..hahha. but don’t laugh that is what I ordered!!

The kids also like to go there because they have outside little play areas where they can jump around and go through tunnels, although, today the outside area was closed due to heavy winds we have been having.. so the kids just got to eat..but hey, they were happy with that.
