Janice Branham replied to a comment by Suzanne Gibson on Palma de Mallorca

That tracks, we were surrounded by Germans at breakfast. We're the only gringos from the states as far as I can tell.

Suzanne Gibson commented on Palma de Mallorca

Mallorca is extremely popular with the Germans. Earlier eating hours might be a concession to the majority of their customers. I found this to be the case in Riva on Lake Garda.

Lucky you. We went by on a Monday when they were closed and just peeked through the windows.

To be sure. I always enjoy looking over your shoulder virtually at the beauties you're finding at les patisseries.

What else can you do? I bet you've done more than your share of these

One of the 4 essential food groups-meat/cheese, bread, fruit/veg, and...postres.

Floating wind turbines! Pete's research sent me down a Wikipedia rabbit hole about them. I guess the power advantage from higher winds offshore must be enough to cover the cost of maintaining them in the ocean. So interesting.

Hah, understatement of the trip: “That must have been a complicated relationship.”

More from Ginny, Pete found a photo of the floating wind generator online, being towed into position, two miles offshore. It’s being tested, Spain’s first floating wind turbine. Power going into the local grid.

Pete is also intrigued by the windmill. Says it could be generating power for something ten miles away, or father. Looks like something suspicious from a James Bond movie.

Is that an offshore windmill? Spectacular view. You continue to impress me.
