Candanchu Pictures.

This is the livingroom/dining room of the apartment the family owns in Candanchu, Spain. The apartment is a two bedroom, one bath apartment with a small kitchen and a laundry/mud room.

This is one of the bedrooms. Obviously this is the kids room. Two bunk beds for the four kids. But since I was there, Jorge got bumped to the couch. He didn't seem to mind.

Silvia and Jorge are ready to go!

Carlos had boots and a snowboard that fit me perfectly!

This is the view from the apartment. No Joke. We basically walked out of the apartment building on to the ski lift. It was great!

This is the view up the Reina Sophia lift. Lucky for me the Reina Sophia is the one closest to the apartment and Sophia happens to be the name of my awesome sister. So if I ever got lost I could always remember where I needed to go.

This is the view down the mountain from the ski lift. Neat town isn't it?

This is the view to the right from the ski lift. As you can see there is lots and lots of snow to be played on.

This is me and a whole bunch of ridiculously amazingly beautifully breath taking moutains. How lucky am I?

More amazing mountains.

I don't think the kids appreciated how gorgeous it was there.

Or maybe the altitude just made me deliriuosly happy.

I just finished my last run down the hill and now it is time to hang up the snow board and get ready for the five hour drive back to Madrid. All in all I think I spent about 10 hours snow boarding in a day and a half. So great!

The dribe back was pretty amazing too.

That is some view. Beautiful. That's all I can say.

I've come to appreciate the beauty in rolling hills and fields. However, this does not mean I will be moving to Eastern Washington any time soon.

Several years ago road side bill boards were banded in order to make Spain look prettier. The large bull used to be a bill board for a certain beverage. But not it is blacked out and stands proudly in the fields of Spain.

So that wa Candanchu. I'm so glad I didn't pass up on the chance to go. It's been the highlight of the journey thus far. Man! Am I blessed. I just can't get over it.
