Crazy People!

So we have power again…The fuse in our power converter blew and it has taken some time to get back to where we can charge camera batteries, computer batteries, and other such things needed to make these updates. Hopefully it will not be so long between them now. Today we were able to find the last piece of the battery charging puzzle.

Ben had planned to climb this evening, but just before he was going to start warming up it began to rain - so we edited two little video of the bouldering we have been doing the last couple of days. It has been a pretty productive last few days in Font, where we were able to tick off many of the classic lines. Now that we have some of the easier ones out of the way it is time to set our sites on getting a couple of harder lines before the weather gets hot again and we head off to another area. The weather looks good the next few days so hopefully we will be able to get down to business and tick a bunch of projects…a hard life I know.

The last two days were rest days. We were both so sore we could hardly move. In Font, your muscles give out before your skin wears down. Imagine that.

So we think we have our eating routine down. Cereal and oatmeal are our options for breakfast (and of course pressed coffee). Tuna or Egg sandwiches are easy for lunches at the bouldering areas. Add a scoop or two of Nutella on a cracker or type of fruit and we’re set. Couscous and pasta are easy and efficient for supper, and since Krissy has decided to pause on the vegetarianism, our sources of protein are whatever is cheap…canned meats, lentilles and sausages, hamburger or chicken once in a while. Wine is also super cheap. .75 e is the cheapest we’ve found and it’s pretty good. So we sip on some wine during supper.

In exciting news we have had a crazy guy scaring people in our campground the last two nights! Two nights ago he was walking in the woods behind our tent…and around our tent with no lights. Last night he was back and actually was talking to us and our German neighbours. He told us the sites were his and we had to leave. Any way, after a few more interactions with him the campground host chased him out with a shovel or something like that! And them called the police. Exciting! We kept a big knife in the tent…..

A couple of videos for you…..

  2. yes...it's just too hard without it. protein powder is very expensive. it's only for a couple more months.
    ben did the vids...not bad for editing in a campground. we had some sweet tunes picked out but the vid program won't use them. we're trying to figure out how to convert them.
