Casa de Campo Cangas de Onis

... Jews, the Inquisitioin, etc. Hee, hee. Still trying to be funny here. But enough.

It is a beautiful spot here. The air is cool and smells of the woods. We've both commented how early it feels here in the mornings. By that I mean that at 8am it feels dark and early--like 6am back home. Not much moves until 9am (which feels like 7)! Enjoy the photos from Covadonga. Next stop, Ribadeo on the coast.

Left Hector's at 10 am. I was very tired. We hit the road right after getting bread and fruit for breakfast. We ate breakfast and I decided to get some shut-eye after downloading all of the pictures from the day before. Conrad said he would wake me if he saw anything cool. I thought I was just about falling asleep when he woke me up for a "scenic detour". Wow, was all I could ...

... the mountains following the river Cares. Although it is only possible to see the river occasional due to it being too far below the path it is possible to hear it. The walk is about 24 kilometers there and back. Approx 16 miles. We have never been on such a spectacular walk. The path clings to the cliff face hundreds of meters above the gorge and burrows through solid rock. It is very difficult to describe adequately.

Tomorrow 2 10 09 we move on.

We awoke to the sounds the ocean across the street. A stroll revealled the Picos de Europe directly behind us. We toured the lovely old city, took some naps, played in another discovered playground, and set off again around ...

... When we got to the camp we set up our new pop-up tent (5 seconds) and put the mattress in.  Kevin got in to try it out and we realized it was too short for him because of the angle.  So it turns out we'll be sleeping diagonally.  The top of the mountains still have snow here but it's warm enough were we are that Kevin is in shorts and a t-shirt at 8:30pm and I'm only in jeans, a short-sleeved shirt, a long-sleeved shirt and a sweater.  But I haven't shed the flip-flops yet.    

After the swim we headed back up to the mountains, aiming for the national park Picos de Europa and central town Cangas de Onis. On th road we found cows strolling by, which made our trip somewhat more slowly than expected. Cangas was a quite commercial town with tourish shops and lots of "adventure" activities for sale. However, it was a very charming town.
