Torla
This is where the excitement begins. We went on a 25 kilometer hike in the Pyrenee Mountains, more specifically we went to
Parque National de Ordesa y Monte Perdido (that's a mouthful!). You can be guaranteed that I was the slowest one there. Flo and his friends are far more athletic than I'll ever be. I was in much much pain by the end of this hike. It took 7 hours for me to do. The last two hours were spent walking a zig-zag down the side of the mountain. It got to the point where we weren't even talking to each other any more.
I complained a lot at the end...but honestly, it was quite beautiful and I'm happy that I got to do something like this.
This is where we stopped to have lunch on our way to Torla...
... I thought the wind turbines were pretty neat. We don't have very many of those in the South-East. Actually, I'm not aware of any in Georgia.
Do you see how he just hangs all over other women?!?! He's shameless...he doesn't even wait to do it behind my back.
Honestly, I think they're crazy. That water was insanely cold. I refused to go inside. It looked so nice but it felt like death when you put your hand in the water.
Some nice scenic shots:
In our Hostel:
These girls know the evil they were up to! I won't dare post that on the internet. :-P
I think everybody agreed that this was the coolest place we stayed at during our entire trip to Spain. Nobody wanted to leave. This is where we went canyoning. I didn't know exactly what that was before I went. I didn't know how long it would take or what to expect.
So canyoning... we took a forty-five minute hike down to the canyon. We put on our wetsuits and jumped into the water. For the next 4-5 hours, we swam through the water and jumped off huge rocks.
At this point, you probably realize that I'm a huge wimp. The first jump we made was only 3-4 meters (9-12 feet)...and I really didn't want to do it. I was the last one to jump. Finally, by the end of the whole thing, I was getting used to it.
This is where our canyoning trip concluded. This was about a 10 meter jump. Again, I emphasize that Flo and his friends are crazy.
I'm working on getting the waterproof disposable camera developed...
In our hostel: 
The room wasn't bad. A few people took the mattresses and slept on the porch at night. Damn hippies.
Yay, lunch time!
This was a place we stopped at on our way to Torla...
Despite their many efforts to try to kill me on this part of the trip, I somehow managed to survive...

She just forget to say something !
We took her bah... And, she forget to take off her school books, so I had I don't know how many extra pounds (kilos) to carry during those 7 or 8 hours... and even with this, I was faster... no offense !
There was *one* book...and it wasn't for school! All the other stuff was informational packets from all the places we had already been... and I offered to carry the damn bag! Much offense taken! :-)
One book, and I don't know how many stuff that you thought was interesting, and not only things from the place we had already been !
Damn foreigners !
Much offense given! :-)
