Vall de Boi

This weekend we took a bus trip to Vall de Boi, a picturesque region to the nor...west... I don't know. The camino took 4 hours, not bad on the way there. We first went to a church from the 11th or 12th century, which wasn't as cool as all the other things we've seen, but there was a bell tower we got to climb up in. And by climb I mean climb. The "stairs" were more like 7(?) long steep ladders. Deadly. Not really. Anyway, it was a pretty view. Then we just went straight to our pyramid-like hotel, where our hearts filled with promises of a heated pool were broken. Well there was a wedding going on, so walking by it to get to the pool was extremely awkward. And the pool closed at 8, and was kinda small and un-noteworthy. I don't think anyone went swimming. Anyway. Then we went to eat at a place with almost american-like food, and then a sports bar to watch the Barcelona game. They are doing awesome by the way. The next morning we got up early to go to a national park(Parque Nacional de Aiguestortes y Estany de Sant Maurici or something). Pyrenees!! It was pretty. We went on a little hike. Hooray. The cool part was riding up a moutain in 4x4s. Jurassic Park style. Love it. PLUS, there were cows, and mountain goats(!!!). The only goat we saw though was from really far away and it was just a little white speck. All the cows and goats had bells on them though, so random bells would ring from all directions. If I had pissed off a mountain goat and gotten headbutted, it would have been worth it. But I didn't have the chance. Oh well. Next time. Oh yeah, so, then we pretty much just left, and had to stop at like 4 different little cities on the way home to try to eat. Disaster. Most of the places were closed for siesta, or full, or didn't want to serve so many people. Or any people. Restaurants here are weird, they never want anybody to eat in them. Whatever. At least you aren't required to leave a tip. Then we got home. That's about all I have to say about that.
