What should I do today?

I´m have about half a month left in Valdepeñas, plane tickets look expensive.  I´m planning on heading up North for a few weeks in June before flying back to the states.  But in the mean time...



Café bombón, condensed milk, coffee, and whipped cream, chocolate sprinkles on top if you have them.  A desert coffee.  I´m not a huge coffee drinker but occasionally...  I also like going to different cafés around town to get out of the flat and read the newspaper or write in Spanish.  The Valdepeñas library sees quite a bit of me as well.

Bouldering just over the Jaén border.  A group of us went one evening to explore this beautiful area of granite boulders.
The Angel Monument, partially destroyed by an ETA bomb.
We missed the bus or maybe it wasn´t running due to a festival day in Ciudad Real so we decided to head over to this monument rather than going to Moral to rock climb.  We´d heard of people from our club climbing there.  You climb up a ladder in the middle of one of the columns to set up the top rope.  The face gets really hard around the height of the wing so working the edges proves to be the best way up.

Red chalk bag, that´s me.
