At the beginning of the week I was still in Taipei. The trip back to Alicante started Sunday evening and ended about 28 hours later on Monday. So this week’s PAW consists of some “leftovers” from Taipei and the usual slices of Alicante life.

I continued my ongoing project documenting lovely Beatrice’s pregnancy. She has 7 weeks to go:
