Weekend trip to Segovia
This weekend Aly and I met up with her parents in central Spain. We had three days of great weather, tasty eatables, and as usual... an open itinerary. There, we spent our time castle touring, aqueduct spotting, and visiting the town of Ávila (another historic walled city).
Joy and Mike Kreikemeier are touring the Spanish peninsula from the saddle of their motorcycle, so of course we were delighted when they asked us to join them in the famous city of Segovia. We also visited the small village of Pedraza where we enjoyed some cañas de cerveza (beers!) and got in our daily dose of exercise on the public outdoor fitness equipment.
Cheers

Here I prove that "exercise" can indeed be a noble task

Cubes of Memory. Llanes, Spain
For this 16mm Monday, I've chosen to share an image from a recent road trip adventure. Last Thursday, Alyssa and I rented a car and spent the following three days touring the coastal tarmac of the Iberian Peninsula. These days and nights (and an open itinerary) produced many pleasant, and often unexpected, happenings. One such occurrence arrived when we stumbled upon the "Cubes of Memory" in the charming fishing port of Llanes. These Memory Cubes (designed by Artist Augustin Ibarrola) act as a break-water barrier for the village's main harbor. We thereafter chose to stay in Llanes for two nights; visiting the rocky beaches and close-by inland mountains by day. At night we sampled and enjoyed tapas, quaffable wine, and spoke of moving to New Mexico this summer.
More images and info from this trip will be posted throughout the following days.
Cheers, and thanks for stopping by!
