Viva Espana

She made it!

Jodie is a descent woman

We had a train to catch at Sabanianigo. Here's Jodie cruising down the Spanish side of the Pyrenees. At the top there were poor road surfaces which, apparently, will be improved once the building work (new ski resorts) is complete.

Mallos de Riglos

We got to the station with a comfortable 8 minutes to spare. We could then rest on the train for about 40 minutes, before stopping at a tiny station, Mallos de Riglos. And what a view! Stunning! And the rocky thing behind her doesn't look bad either.

Another shot of the rocky thing.

Mallos de Riglos 3

Problems finding the way to the campsite and also a blow out on my back wheel meant that we didn't arrive until 10.00 p.m. and it was already dark. This picture was taken in the morning from the road next to the campsite - and there is that rocky thing again.

Spanish lizard

Not sure how common lizards are in Canada but Jodie got pretty excited by them. In fact Jodie got pretty excited about lots of things - doors are her favourite. What a pleasure it was to cycle with someone with real enthusiasm for life and the world rather than being cynical and pessimistic. I now have a special page full of lizards here.
