... 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>

... at 7:30am. But it wasn't too long before all my amusement was replaced with respect. As we started up the mountains, it was easy to see that the nearly 2000m climb up to Canillo isn't a laughing matter. Turn after turn we zig-zagged up intensely steep grade in a 15 ton death trap, and our driver just bounced along as if it was nothing. I'm sure it really is nothing to someone who does that kind of thing everyday, because when we got to the first stop at ...

Le plan original était d'aller à Cahors visiter un vignoble, mais puisque l'on n'a pas de voiture (considérant que les vignes sont dans des champs et non au centre ville) on n'a pas pu y aller. J'ai trouvé sur internet qu'il y avait plusieurs grotte dans le sud donc on en a choisi une pas trop trop loin et on a acheté nos billet de train.<br><br>Tarascon sur Ariege est à environ 1h15 de toulouse donc ca se fait quand meme bien. C'est un ...

... than anything else. However, for a first time climber this is often the most difficult. The death grip mush come off the rock and weight comes off your feet. Floating on air! You push aside thoughts of whether or not the rope will hold and begin to descend. <br><br>Actually, I found the job of belaying much more difficult than that of climbing. Not only ******* the arms hauling the rope around and holding it securely, was the knowledge that ...

A side trip with the truck enabled us to get to areas we couldn&#8217;t normally access. Not that we would even attempt it on bicycles - vehicles are bad enough. Windy roads where motion sickness is a given, &#8216;oh ****&#8217; handles are coming loose from repetitive strain, and a straight section of road lasts about 20m. <br><br>Our goal was a little damned in lake almost on the ...

The set up for working at Las Laous is a 2 day on, 1 day off system. This works great because it means that we have a full day to go and do things and we aren&#8217;t really restricted for time. Also, the fact that Justin and Emily have lent us a car makes it even better! We can go farther that we could on foot or bike. <br><br>One of the main things we were interested in seeing was the Grotte de Naiux (Caves). Part of the fun of spending time in the ...

... the farm was in. Brain thought that one of the valleys he could see was the view from the farm, so he roughly knew what direction to follow. Most importantly, our direction was down, down, down. Into the bottom of the valley where the river ran. I started to get worried. The terrain was very steep and we weren&#8217;t quite sure what direction to head. No towns around and I'd forgotten the phone number anyways. What if ...

... La Perla Negra (The Black Pearl). His name´s Cristophe, from Marseilles on the fashionable "Hot Coast," and he wears dark hair that floats down to his shoulders. His brown eyes stay deep in their home like an octopus in its cave. His lips and tongue pronounce their French whimsically like a jellyfish. He looks like a pirate, which is the theme of his bar and his clothes. <br><br>Cool Cristophe makes fun of his regulars while giving them cheap drinks. Pouring my ...

... 2 - Work with the French. A short and chubby guy with shaggy brown hair was put in charge of explaining to me the philosophies of supermarket shelve-stocking. His name´s Cyril, he bobs his head and looks as friendly as a Lord of the Rings hobbit, and he often sings merrily to the French tunes on the speakers. He and I might soon start sharing an apartment together. A girl named Christielle wears her hair in a brown bun as she works the cash ...
