ABANDONED HOUSES. GRAMANET. SPAIN.

IN THE COUNTRY SIDE THERES A BUNCH OF ABANDONED HOSUES. VERY COOL TO EXPLOE. WE EVEN VIITED ONE THT MARYS GRANDMA WAS BORN IN. ITS UNBELIEVABLE THAT THEY ARE STILL STANDING FTER HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF YEARS.

GRAMANET. SUNSET WALK.

AFTER RETURNING FROM THE EPIC MOUNTAIN DRIVE WE HAD THE MOST EPIC CHRISTMAS FEAST. AFTER EATING IT WAS EITHER HAVE A SIESTA OR GO FOR A WALK, THE WALK SEEMED THE SAFER OPTION. THE GROUND WAS WELL MUDDY! THE GROUND THERE SEEMS REALLY HARD TO FARM AS IT IS FILLED WITH ROCKS. IN SUMMER THESE FIELDS ARE FULL OF GRAIN, WILL BE COOLL TO RETURN IN SUMMER AND TAKE SOME COMPARISON PHOTOS. WE STOPPED BY MARYS BROTHERS PIG FARM. I COULDNT STOP THINKING OF THE SCENE FROM SNATCH 'NEVER TRUST A MAN WHO OWNS A PIG FARM'. JUST BEFORE THE SUN WENT DOWN THE TEMPERATURE DROPPED SUDDENLY SO MARTI LIT SOME GRASS ON FIRE TO WARM ZEE OLD BODY UP MUN.

MOUNTAIN DRIVE WITH THE FAMILY.

CHAYS DAD MARTI WANTED TO TAKE US FOR A DRIVE UP THE MOUNTAIN TO SHOW ME THE VIEWS. IT WAS BOMB UP THERE. ENDLESS VIEWS WITH SNOW CAPPED MOUNTAINS IN THE DISTANCE, ICE ON THE GROUND, ABANDONED HOUSES. AMAZING TO SEE GRAMANET FROM ABOVE, SEEING THINGS FROM ABOVE ALWAYS GIVE YOU SUCH A BETTER PERSPECTIVE !

GRAMANET - CATALUNYA- SPAIN . . . LA CASA (THE HOUSE)

THE CLAVEROL COMPOUND IS OLDER THEN THE FIRST ENGLISH SETTLEMENT IN AUSTRALIA. THE HOUSE IS AROUND 300 YEARS OLD!!! I LOVE THIS PLACER SO MUCH. NEARLY AS MUCH AS I LOVE PAN CON TOMATE (PEOPLE POUR A TINY BIT OF OLIVE OIL ON THE BREAD THEN CUT A TOMATO IN HALF AND RUB THE TOMATO JUICE INTO THE BREAD) .
