Plaza 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>

... 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.<br>

... 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 ...

... to the dog and told her to &#8216;drop it!&#8217; When she did, the chicken ran away! Thankfully she didn&#8217;t seem to do any major damage, but you can&#8217;t have a chicken dog on a farm where there&#8217;s chickens. <br><br>&#8216;Hay&#8217; Day<br><br>The summer has been so dry here that grass is not growing enough to feed the cows, so their diet has to be supplemented with hay. Also, since they keep their animals over the winter, hay is ...

... on toast it resembled scrambled eggs in both texture and taste. Won&#8217;t become my favourite dish, but it was interesting to try out. I can certainly appreciate the effort to use every part of an animal in respect for it giving it&#8217;s life, but I did feel a little like Hannibal Lectre. There&#8217;s just something in knowing you&#8217;re eating brain that doesn&#8217;t appeal over all the other organs on an animal.

... 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 ...

I don't sleep very well my night in Barcelona. Confrontation does that to me. It leaves scars, slow to heal. So do high prices and biting bullets. Then to make matters worse later that night I take a walk around the neighborhood, and in one single block I find: a pension, a 'youth&#8217; hostel, and a hostal over a bar, all after I&#8217;d told myself it&#8217;s too late to be out searching. Of course there&#8217;s no guarantee that ...

... steeper and I decide to go further down the track, as we haven't come to any river, and I tell Yvonne we'll meet back at the car. So I charge down the hill, as I don't want to keep Yvonne waiting too long, but still can't find the river, then turn back and climb fast up the slope. I keep going and going (thinking this is taking longer than I thought), then catch up to Yvonne (who is saying this slope is going to kill me). We eventually decide we have gone far past the point at ...

... que puede hacer. Debe llevarnos a nuestros hotels." (That´s the least he can do. He should give us rides to our hotels in ohis car.) Then, we´re told we have to wait another week to see if we get jobs, and we hitchhike home in the dark. Above all, we wait for it to snow. Many of the ski villages haven´t gotten much snow yet, and the companies won´t start employing people until the slopes get more snow. My Chilean hotel-roommate told me many of the South Americans ...
