Can´t get enough of the Pyrenees

Last night we got back from a planning trip to the Pyrenees. We have spent quite a few weeks this year discovering many new routes and beautiful parts of the country. We are very happy to be planning this trip for the Calgary group, I know they will love it.

San Juan de la Peña Monastery 11-13th century
This place was really incredible and would have to alleviate tired cyclists´ minds. Is considered the cradle of the Kingdom of Aragon, place of legends, and said to have housed the Holy Grail.

Really Big Chocolate Chip Cookie

Maybe it is the time of year or living abroad just made me want to bake something really homy, (or the 93km we rode yesterday) but yesterday afternoon I made the biggest chocolate chip cookie ever! Luckily, it turned out really yummy and we had some of it for dessert after having Jaume´s vegetable pakoras.
