I have so many posts and so little time.

Ages and stages, that has seemed to be a very good way to look at life for a long time, there are ages and stages.

And in each of these there are things you love about it and things that, well, not so much.  Things that you would like to hang on to, and continue doing, and things that, well, not so much.


So, what has been not so much?  working and working and working and working.......

marvelous?


Walking is great, when I can.....

This area is near Tremp which was the front in the civil war for quite a long time.

Below is a spring emerging from the ground.  Catalunya is amazing this way.



Military installations, 
 





The ground is so rocky the trenches were only dug down half way, and the rocks piled up to make a wall.  Also, it was thought it would be temporary so not a lot of attention was paid to quality construction.  10 months later, they were still there.


A more solid military post.


I also went to Girona for the day:



 That says minyons, as in not those strange yellow things, but girls who worked in a residence, so this is essentially the servant's entrance.



Now, back to the grind!

What beautiful countryside! Seems a nice change from the grind, but never long enough. We spent the day scrubbing and winterizing the boat. L

well, I suppose "minions" and "mynions" are somehow etymologically related, then? :)
