Les Closes Escaldes-Engordany

... 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>

... charm, but it's easy to see that lots of it is maintained with the massive amounts of money that come in through rich tourists going to the ski resorts. Walking through the peaceful streets and hearing flowing water everywhere almost makes things seem eerily perfect. Like walking through a fairy tale. After a few rounds of the city, I decided to turn in a bit early as I didn't sleep much on the train over.<br><br> Today when I woke up the country had been ...

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 ...

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 ...

... a large pile and is allowed to &#8216;work&#8217; for another year. After this it&#8217;s ready to go on the garden. <br><br>Hard work though. Took several days of lifting. One night Brian came in to say that **** was really heavy - hence hauling some heavy ****. But the chickens love it - scrambling all around eating the bugs that congregate, and scratching. Making a right good mess of the nice pile that was made. <br><br>Hungry Hungry ...

... 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 ...

... 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 ...

... called &#8216;Patou&#8217; 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&#8217;t heed the warnings - you&#8217;re at your own risk with a fierce dog that comes up to your ...

... names accompanied by dates. Locals exploring the area long ago and the first few archaeologists to grace the entrance marked their territory with the addition of a slightly more distinguished &#8216;so-in-so was here&#8217;. Dates of 1655 and 1848, with the earliest being 1602. Of course no one is allowed to do this anymore since the cave has been open to the public, but I think that my name and date would be very interesting in 300 years time!<br> <br>

... It would make them feel powerful and invincible, albeit a little crazy - hence the word Berserk.<br><br>Also Medicine Men of certain tribes would use this drug to get their visions (as well as other things). Being the Medicine Man, he was more powerful than others in the tribe and was able to withstand the negative effects. When eaten, it has both good and bad poisons (good being used loosely here to mean the psychedelic effect). Your body will ...
