Montanejos, One Wedding, and Let the Count Down Begin!!

Two and a half more weeks and Gabriel and I fly out!! We are so looking forward to seeing everybody!! Here´s some recent pics. For the long weekend 6 of us went to Montanejos to climb. We enjoyed the beautiful scenary and wonderful places to swim. I didn´t take many fotos cause I was busy climbing so you´ll have to do with these:
We went swimming here in the river right below the little waterfall. The water was very cold and we had fun swimming across the current. Then we climbed on the walls on the right. Moises and Antonio forgot to mention they were going to hike out after topping out of a 4 pitch climb. They showed up later that night in town at 11:30. There girlfriends were kinda mad:) The first day we hiked far up this canyon (a dry riverbed) until we found some water we could swim in, then we climbed all afternoon.
This is the place were all the people go. There are thermal pools and it is absolutely beautiful. We went here the last day before we headed back to ValdepeƱas.

Last weekend we went to a wedding of friends of Gabriel. Sorry Heather, no shoe shot :(

The weather this week has been strange. I tried to capture it in this shot here in the middle of the day yesterday. It looks really gloomy but it actually is dust from the deserts of Africa (called calima) that come with hot winds.

And this one is for Heather and Lisa ;) Andrea all dressed up as a fairy princess. She loves dressing up and looking at herself in the mirror. As you can see by her tan we aren´t related. . . I´m just her nanny. =)
