Weekend Away in Garrotxa

Can Jou Had a nice weekend away in Garrotxa. We stayed in a very remote rural bed & breakfast called Can Jou (pictured). 6 long km of twisty unpaved uphill road to get to the b&b, but what a spectacular view! Their focus is horseback riding -- I counted at least 24 horses in the stables down the hill below our balcony. We didn't have time for horses, we just relaxed and enjoyed the tweeting birds and otherwise noiseless environment on the hilltop.

logo_bendingcorners.png I can't believe more people don't get into podcasts. I am constantly telling people to check out this or that podcast. Most free ones you find are spoken word / news podcasts, but sometimes you find a really good music podcast. Bending Corners is an old favorite of mine.
