... 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.

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.

... month). I wandered around Andorra la Ville, the capital city here, for the majority of today. This is when I realized the importance of shoes that don't get wet in the snow, even my two pairs of socks defense was useless to stand up to the icy attacker. When I realized everything in the capital relates to shopping for things that cost insane amounts of money, I decided to trek back here and post some pictures. Hope you like them and I'll keep you updated.

... 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.

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...

... and hand hold. Until you get to the point where you can’t seem to make a move at all. Limbs getting sore and there’s no place to set your foot, and no where to grab hold with your hand. Every muscle in your body tense trying to keep you in the place where you re. Mind solely focused on the task at hand. Moving slightly, feeling around, using divets in the rock that are barely visible to support your weight. Ever upward straining ...

... called ‘Patou’ are raised with a herd (Pyrenees mountain dogs). As a result they will guard and defend their animals from any predator they may face - including humans. If you happen to wander in range they will bark furiously and give you many warnings to get away. If you don’t heed the warnings - you’re at your own risk with a fierce dog that comes up to your ...

... for instructions from our guide. Far enough now, and the group waits in solid silence for what comes next.

Perfectly positioned, the guide turns on a single light and we’re blinded with a whole wall full of images! Not just simple line drawing either - they are quite detailed. Many make use of the natural contours of the rock and the shadows that it creates to add life and depth to the images. A truly remarkable sight as image after ...

... and beyond. The higher mountains are considered communal land and each commune in the area had different areas in which they can graze their animals. I think it’s wonderful to have open-use land like this.

Ridge walking was a surreal experience as the landscape around continually changed with the valley mist filling the air and causing whole hillsides to disappear and re-appear just as quickly. But all too soon ...

... apart like a sea the landmass that is his giant head. The hour of this unforgettable dance had been Saturday night. Arnaud was drunk. He was smiling at everyone and slouching his shoulders in a cool, James-Morrison-in-Paris way. In the La Perla Negra bar, he ordered his beers by throwing up one hand in a military fashion and saluting, "Heinken!" in the way they used to hail Hitler. Arnaud, Cyril, and I ventured to a nightclub. FRENCH INFILTRATION STEP 8 - Dance ...

... I think a female Spanish customer caught me drooling the other day when I was bent over checking out the wine stock. Really, I was feeling a lot like Homer Simpson tonight. Did you ever see the episode where Homer was working in the bowling alley as a "pin-monkey" before Maggie was born and he had to go work in the nuclear power plant? All was right with Homer´s world; the sun was always shining, he made just enough money to get by, he was ...
