ten things from today's ride...

1 crash. I dropped the chain and didnt unclip in time. rookie mistake.
2 great conversations in Spanish with locals I passes in the mountains. awesome country.
3 1.5l bottles of water. good thing I remembered to get another one when my first ran out. not a rookie mistake.
4 slugs. big black ones. I hate slugs.
5 pictures taken. good ones, I mean. I felt like I was on the set of black narcissus.
6 am. what time I started this am.
7 groups of sheep passed. stay tuned for video.
8 pm. my first hotel mini bar raided, I'm opting for the dinner at the hotel restaurant. I haven't had hot food since last Tuesday afternoon.

other than that, I'm alive, and headed to Pamplona tomorrow..
