Cervol Andorra la Vella

... having a beer and watching a man try to dig his van out of the snow. To my knowledge his van is to this moment where it was when I left the bar. <br><br> I just wanted to take this opportunity to post some pictures of Canillo when it's snowy and the sun comes out. Don't have too many, but figured it was worth a post.<br><br>

... waiting for him too. Probably not, but he was still a hero in my book.<br><br><br> We finally arrived at my destination at about 8:30am, and I proceeded to try to get my bearings in a new place. I was surprised at how quiet everything was, and also by the fact that most of the shops were still closed at close to 9 on Saturday. A few hours later I realized this little town doesn't really get started until about 9:30 or 10. Never ceases to amaze me as the ...

... village et quand on est arrivé, il avait le marché du matin. On a acheter du vin à environ 1 euro le litre (vin de pays) et du bon fromage bleu pour le déjeuner.<br><br>On avait pas le droit de prendre des photos dans la grotte pour pas faire de la pollution lumineuse (il y avait déja des ptites pousses de plante pres des lanternes...ils veulent pas en rajouté non plus). Aussi il faut pas déranger les chauve souris...pauve cocottes...<br>

Found out today that the 90 day tourist visa that I thought we were granted for each country is actually for the combined Senchgen countries. Since we'll be at least 60 days in France alone, it means we won't be doing the France, Italy, Greece and then Turkey route we had planned on in the length of time we'd ...

... of apples! So it&#8217;s been apples for dessert every night and lots of applesauce in the pantry. <br><br>Inspired by Mami in Brittany, I thought that apple jelly would be a great addition. From what I could briefly read in a book, it seemed very easy - just strained fruit juice and sugar. However, I couldn&#8217;t seem to get the balance &#8216;set point&#8217; right to turn it into jelly. <br><br>My first attempt just made a thick liquid ...

... the weekend and they&#8217;re ready for pickup and processing. Brian had always been interested in butchering meat, so here was an opportunity to learn a bit. <br><br>The drive back from the abattoir was more difficult than I&#8217;d expected. Sitting beside 4, ½ pig carcasses was less than comfortable. +6 degree weather outside we still drove with the windows down and the A/C on trying to get the temperature down to 2 or 3 ...

Time to attempt something I&#8217;ve always been itching to do: rock climbing. And not the kind done on indoor walls with padded flooring. Real out-in-the-open, unforgiving stone ROCK CLIMBING!<br><br>Out in the Pyrenees in the Ariege region with it&#8217;s beautiful slopes lie a multitude of rock faces covered in climbers pretending to be Spiderman. <br><br>Even though it&#8217;s something I&#8217;ve always wanted to try, there were a few ...

... called Mimi's, with a pricey but yummy-sounding menu, and inquired with the staff about sitting outside, only to be told they weren't open until 21:00. Though it was only 15 minutes away, the rude waitress was a turn-off, and I decided to eat elsewhere.<br><br>I finally decided on a pizza joint called La Cantina, and the waiter wasn't all that friendly, either - what gives here??? He was hesitant to give me a spot on the terrace, as he obviously didn ...

... throughout the year, you will find peace and calm in the beneficial effects of thermal water. A haven to retreat to, dedicated to rest, getting back in shape, health and beauty." The water feels like treated tap-water, although it's supposed to be from a thermal spring, and its temperature is barely above luke-warm. The "light and sound" show starts and it is the most childish and kitsch production you could think of - coloured lights go on and off, a smoke-machine is turned ...

... dark and cool and silent. The girls are slim in light-blue jeans, and they call everyone, "Che", in that cool Argentinian voice that seems to be reaching for something without actually being so grace-less as to show that it wants. With black, needly hair and light-colored faces that look five years more baby-ish than they ought to, Argentinian females have the world´s most electrifying looks* without even caring to have them. Many of us come from Chile. These of us ...
