I’m breaking out a little with this entry, and for those who think you can only have fun with spandex shorts and 24 speeds, I apologize. It’s not cycling, but at least it is ’self propelled’.
In 1995, while traveling around Asia, I did a long trek in Nepal – the Annapurna Circuit. Firstly, I have [...]

Here we are at our first [...]

The ride out from Begur was pretty average I have to say. Most of the day we had a major road with tons of traffic and little or no shoulder.
There were poppies though!
I just realized that we never took any pictures in Figueres, our destination on day 3…or at least pictures of the reason I [...]
