This is the tour we planned on doing !
We visited Barcelona yesterday.. and spent the night in Lleida.

This morning, after a tour in the park, we drove towards Huesca, in Aragon !
The drive way nice but it's in the middle on Nowhere !!


Luckily we found a hotel downtown !

Tomorrow we will drive through the Pyrenees until Andorra.

Ready for Spain ?

My internship is over.
I leave for San Francisco in a little over 3 weeks !
Tomorrow morning Martin & I will head towards Spain for a few days.
We plan to go near Lerida.


These are pictures I took in Marseilles a few months ago when my friends & I happened to meet a group of people paragliding. They offered to give us a try... of course I had a skirt on and high heels, so I just took pictures ! Our unorganized/spontaneous afternoon turned out being great fun !



Hopefully this trip to Spain will be the same, because the least I can say is that we haven't planned anything !

South of France #3 - Les gorges de l'Ardèche

"It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad."
C.S. Lewis


Wake up early. Drive. Row. Eat. Row. Swim.Row. Take a nap. Row....
But it was really fun !


Going down Les Gorges de l'Ardèche in a Canoe.
