This could make a good waterslide

Autumn's not so ugly head

Exhibit B
Bridge maintainance is not a priority in Spain

The dam when we still had a bit to go..

I have not posted in a while and since the last time a lot has happened. Most memorable is the crazy amount of partying going on in this city but those escapades have not been documented unfortunately for the readers of my blog but probably for the best for me. I did feel it safe to take pictures on a more camera friendly past-time, mountainbiking.
It was one of the last days of great weather since autumn has been rearing its ugly head lately so we were very lucky. We rode out to one of the reservoir lakes close to granada which was a nice drive and very much worth it. The drive itself was nice and tricky and the lake stunning.

Spanish gym


All around the city you can find places like this, I'm sure they are a familiar sight in many countries warmer than my own but to me it is amazing. They look like playgrounds at first but really are free workout areas. Equally amazing is the fact that they are actually being used by young and old alike and I think it is a great idea. If only global warming hurries up a bit we will soon be able to introduce the idea to our own wet little corner of the world and can stop paying for gyms altogether.
