Andorra...yes it´s a country

Hello everyone!

Today Heather and I are spending time in the miniature country of Andorra. It is beautiful, in the picturesque Pyrnees mountains. It is among many things a shopping heaven with everything being about 25% less. We have yet to determine if this is true but for once I am excited to shop for girlie things to find out. Tonight we will be meeting our friend Nicole in Barcelona; we are both excited about having her come along.

We are now about to spend the next week or so in Spain, which we hear is going to be hot and difficult for a vegitarian to eat. I´ve been doing awesome so far, so we´ll see how things go. Heather and I keep hearing how awesome Granada Spain is, so we´re hoping to convince Nicole to spend some time there and possibly less in Madrid since we hear Madrid isn´t as fabulous as other places. We shall see.

The last couple of days have been quite an adventure or maybe a test of our traveling skills. We left Bayeux on Tuesday morning around 7am, spent the afternoon in the beautiful town of Mont St Michel. It was beautiful, but the tourists were driving me batty. That evening we booked a night train. We left Mont St MIchel around 4, arrived in Paris about 8pm, then spent the night on a train arriving around 7am at a small station that was close to where we need to be to catch our bus to Andorra, but not close enough to walk. So we waited for a train that never arrived, then hopped a 3 hour train to Barcelona and then caught a 4 hour bus back, but this one arrived in Andorra about 8pm. Yes, we did not smell good but we made it finally.

I am sorry to say, yet again, my picture uploading efforts have been thwarted, this darned computer doesn´t allow for uploading or attachments via email either, I hope to in Barcelona. Sorry everyone (all the feedback we are getting is for more pictures and we´ve got some awesome ones)!!!
