Great hike on Saturday

We went up the mountain to a small hermitage and a nearby refuge. It was a long walk, but well worth it. The views were spectacular, and to top it off, some friends were at the refuge and were grilling some delicious food when we arrived. We did not eat our sandwiches...

An afternoon hike

Today after class, we took a hike and had a picnic on a little hill. There is a great view of our town from there. Then we picked some blackberries. It's time for homework now...

Here we are having fun in Boí, another town in the same valley:

We finally have internet connection!


School started a week ago. See picture of our first day of school. It's a small but fun school, and everybody knows each other. In Duna's class there are 12 kids including her, and it's a mixed grade room (3rd and 4th).

In Blau's room (5th and 6th grade) there are six children: Guillem, Quirc, Lorena, Maria, Sandra and Blau.

Classes start at 9:00 am and go on until 1:00 pm, with a break for lunch. Then, in the afternoon we go again from 3:00 to 5:00 pm.
