Week 11, 12 and 13 – Focus on work and food
Sunset in Montgrony Yepp, these last couple of weeks have been more focused on finishing up work, receiving the last groups of clients for the year and a lot of meetings for everything we want to do with Active Spain next year.

Week 10 – finger worries

Week 9 – rock!
After a lot of work and training this was supposed to be a good week of rock and relaxation. Oh, well, plenty of rock and plenty of relaxation.

Then helped the neighbor with the olive harvest and did a lot of forest work to collect firewood. Combining this with Thursdays two climbing sessions made me mentally and physically dead. Also hurt a finger [...]
