Ain't No Mountain High Enough

After our three fabulous weeks of city livin' in Madrid, we escaped to the Pyrenees Mountains. We stayed in Castellar du N'Hug.

Population: 87 permanent residents.
Residents our group drove crazy: 87













Activities included: Aqua-trekking, waterfall hike, mountain biking, archery.
After the activities we participated in extreme eating of local delights.













To my dismay, no one dared participate in extreme croissant eating activity.













I abandoned my students briefly (3 hours briefly) so I could go on a photo shoot in the meandering streets.

























The most amazing cheese is this rosemary encrusted dairy dream from Castellar de N'Hug. Heavenly. I'm considering smuggling a block of cheese through US Customs. I've heard that the US government does not tolerate this kind of defiance. Does that make them lactose intolerant?
