Meaningful Moment

Went down to the bar to get an Estrella beer for me and a Vino Verde for Deb.

Asked the bartender for a Vino Verde and she looked really odd at me as if I was pulling her chain.

She says they only have red wine, rosé wine and white wine.

She thought I was asking for a green wine ( "Verde" in Spanish ). I was asking for a type of Portuguese wine.

Deb laughed long and hard when I explained to her that the bartender looked at me like I was an idiot. Lol

Random Thought of the Day

Deb and I have passed two huge stone houses but the ceiling's were gone and some of the walls were gone. If they're not houses, I have no idea what their function is. But they're very old.

Open business hours in Catalunya seem to be very different for other provinces of Spain. For example it's not even 12:30 in Tárrega and yet everything is closed, especially the restaurants.

On the Road / Notable memories

Just had the realization that today is all hills and farm fields. What a difference from yesterday where we were still in the mountains.

Also so far we have gray cloud cover. It is very slightly sprinkling. But on any other day at this time, we would already be getting hot and sweating.

Another late afternoon rain shower but Deb and I are in the hotel room, looking out the windows, and this is much better than hiding underneath a tree lol.

Wine for Deb and beer for me in the hotel room.

Dinner for us was the Menú del Día.

Deb: tomato and tuna green salad, sausage and potatoes, mixed fruit in juice

Me: same salad, albondigas (meatballs) in gravy with potatoes and greens, Catalán custard

	Have left the mountains behind and now in the rolling hills

	Not sure if this is a house in ruin, or some kind of functional farm structure
	Roadside flowers

	Giving the four feets a well-deserved rest
	Eglesia Parroquial de Sant Pere rest stop
	Hostal del Carme: really nice room and dining experience
