Farewell to the mountains

These last days we have been visiting friends to say goodbye. We went to Baqueira-Beret on Saturday and today we went skiing at our local resort: Boí-Taüll. Great weather, lots of fun!

The play in the papers

Snow man

This past weekend, our friends Albert and Rita came to visit us. The weather was great and we got busy building a snow man.

Blau gets Medieval

Today was the 8th anniversary of the designation of the Romanesque churches in the valley as a "World Heritage Site" by UNESCO.
There were celebrations in the different towns and churches, but the highlight was a re-enactment of the painting of one of the frescoes in Sant Climent de Taüll. Blau played "Griselda," the lady-in-waiting of the "Lady of Erill", who commissioned the fresco.

Snow storm

We are having a very cold November, and snow has arrived earlier than usual. Tire chains are required to drive around the mountains today.

Happy Thanksgiving / San Guivin

This morning we went up to the Aigüestortes National Park, for a hike. It was very chilly but sunny. As we were arriving to the Park, we saw a herd of wild mountain goats very high on the mountain. They were jumping madly from rock to rock. Scary...

In the evening we celebrated the holiday, Catalan style.

We have visitors!

The Homa's are here to spend Thanksgiving with us. Julia, Claire, Blau and Duna are having lots of fun together. Yesterday we went on a hike up the mountains, to Sant Quirc de Durro. It was cold! Today, Julia and Claire were guests in our school for a while.
