Sorry Chrissy. I skiped your comment, but I see Rick didn't, and answered you already.Thanks so much, Rick! I see there are many of his drawings/water colors! I will give each of them a closer look.![]()
I was rather amused on that bridge, rather than terrified.After crossing this (terrifying) bridge

Why didn't Portomarín just put up a No trespassing sign?
That won't happen today.
It looks like Matt has a utility belt that would make Batman jealous! He even has a roll of duct tape and bungee cords on there! lol!View attachment 93969
Arriving at Calzadilla de la Cueza after a torturous transit across the Meseta on a burning September day, the sense of relief was further boosted by meeting Matt from Northern Ireland at the cafe there.
He was toting a portable speaker blaring out cheerful ABBA tunes and a solar-powered muffin oven as his method of Meseta survival.
He was clearly not one who worried about the weight he was carrying!
For the rest of the day, ABBA's "Voulez-Vous" was playing on a loop in my head, which was a good thing. I didn't get to taste one of the muffins though!
Are we following each other, @kirkie?
A few days ago I thought I had better fast forward but you are right there behind me!!! I do love your photos. I love ALL the photos (just broke a rule by using all caps!).View attachment 94118
Here's my autumnal hay bale scene!
Love it! I took photos of all those photos at San Anton. A great history.Not quite as 'Arty' as yours but most historical. View attachment 94051 View attachment 94052
I stayed there one year as well and was soooo excited when I saw the rooms. And then the wheels fell off the cart. Turns out the old school dorm rooms were built for children who are 5' tall and 18" wide. As a 6'3" chap who most certainly has exceeded 18" of width, it turned out to be a terrible sleep because there was no way to position myself to be comfortable. I later saw a photo of someone with the same issue who dragged his mattress into the bathroom so at least he could stretch out...!!!View attachment 94146

L'esprit du Chemin. great place in 2007 and 2011If so, that is not what it was called in 2006. I can't recall the name - I will ask Joe, who has a much better memory than I.
Yes, I went back and looked at my notes. It was a lovely place. I think it may have a new name now?L'esprit du Chemin. great place in 2007 and 2011
