These are pictures are of us traveling, and one is of me in a Parador, I think it is a mistake, but I don't want to go through all this again, it has taken four hours to download the last pictures of Spain. The views from the Pico Europes, in the Pierrenes, are phenominal, and it was a beautiful drive. The small village is how many of the villages are in the mountains, they just hang off the side. We stopped and had a great lunch in one village, and it was some of the best and least expensive food we ate.

The view from the patio of Altre Naray, it was a beautiful town.

Some beachy scenes...

One of the many buildings that were scattered through many of the villages, they stored food to dry on the top and carts and cars underneath. This is Ribadesella, a small town on the coast, where we went for the day, definitely one to revisit.

The village where we stayed, the farmhouse/hotel is named "Aultre Naray". Locally much was made from the berries that grew wild, as seen in the picture. We picked some one day and had them for a snack. We also took this picture from a walk we took up the mountain. When we returned we mentioned it to the manager of the hotel, and he said, "Oh, I knew right where you had gone. Word got back much before you did." You have to love small villages.

Jorge and Margaret, and when blogger will let me, more to come....

Jorge at the bridge in Congas de Onis, the village where our friend Margaret lives, her lovely home in this village, one of her many pets she adopts, or are just left at her house, and the view from her apartment in the city of Oviedo, where we had the pleasure of staying the night.

Some of these pictures are in Santiago de Compostela, a wonderful city for a pilgramage, our next trip....

Well, the blogger is being picky, it is only letting me post two small pictures right now, so this is me in front of a fruit market, and Jorge in front of the Gaudi 'church'. I accentuate the word 'church' because I believe the only thing being worshipped their is Gaudi, but I guess he is the god of Barcelona. A brilliant artist, but quite dramatic I would say.

These are pictures around Bercelona, including us in our kitchen, cooking a great meal from food we bought in a local market. That is Jorge comparing notes with his buddy, Einstein. Of course it was required we visit the local science museum, unfortunately, we didn't have any little children with us to watch their eyes light up with each new adventure, but their were plenty running around enjoying the fun.

A picture the post wouldn't let me remove....grrrrr...

We went to the house in Helena, and still had some roses in bloom, and a mum that I think has been radiated, what started as a tiny plant several years ago, is now taking over half the garden!






Me in front of the quilt I made several years ago for the Liberty House. Well, it finally opened, and they have the quilt hanging in the main hall right in front of the door. The Liberty House is a place for Vets families to stay while their loved ones are in the Helena, VA.
