A beautiful mountain trail with the bluest river below
More pics from my summer in Europe! These photos are from the Cares Gorge walk, one of Chris's favorite parts of our trip this summer. Read more about it here. At 12km, it's quite long, and can get very busy during peak travel season, so go early or off-season. DEFINITELY wear some hiking boots and be careful on the trail. It does get skinny in some parts and the gorge is deep.




looking down from the trail!


the water was so clear and beautiful!

Pictures from my summer in Europe - the gorgeous lakes of Picos de Europa
If you love animals you'll love these photos! These photos are from the Asturias region in Spain; the Covadonga glacial lakes: Enol and La Ercina. Other than the breath taking views, what also made it for me were the adorable sheep and cows meandering around the mountains. All through the paths you could hear the cowbells ringing!



There was actually an elderly woman standing in the doorway of this cottage and Chris chatted with her for a few minutes about the area.

the babies were soooooo cute.
Me and my sweetie.
Hanging out with a local.

The drive up to the lakes was windy and often involved yielding to the herds of sheep and cows.

A typical Asturias style dwelling.
Where the Picos are located
