Exciting last month of 2007!

As the title says, many places visited, lots of things done!

I was in New York, Washington (DC), and climbing in the French Pyrenees with good friends!

And in between I was eating like crazy, and enjoying the fact of having the family close by again!

There is no need to mention that NY is kind of a crazy city! It's amazing,... the city that never sleeps! I was there just before flying back to Barcelona, just before Christmas!!!!

People everywhere, music all around, snow and plenty of shops where to spend lot of money (in case you have it, of course!)  

Some days later, it was time for DC. With the guidance of a friend from JHU, we had a tour around the city where the future of the world is decided!

I wouldn't say, it's a great city or a beautiful one, but in any case different; as it's plenty of bureaucracy all around! I think it's already in the atmosphere of the city!

However I was able to enjoy of a nice sunset in one of the most famous places of the world!

Just some days later I was finally flying back home! Man,... how long had I dreamt about that moment! However, as sometimes happen,... there where some problems with fog in London, and our flight was delayed more than 3 hours!

Anyway,... luckily that night I was eating again in between family!

After some crazy days of eating a lot,... was time to try to burn all the new fat! So together with Guille ("the canarian friend"), and Igansi, we headed towards Gavarnie, the paradise of ice climbers!!!

We were seeking to get surrounded of the atmosphere that big mountains, north faces, and cold places produce! (A huge rise of Adrenaline).

Unfortunately for us, not much snow was there, the ice was scarce as well as our forces, so finally after taking a hard decision, we had to change our plans,... and instead of climbing we walked, and took some pictures! Obviously it was not what we had in mind,... but sometimes we have to learn to say,... 'another day will be'! No worries,... we will return,... stronger and hopefully with more snow and ice!

Days were passing, dinners were taking place with different people, different friends, people who I hadn't seen since a long time,... 

In one of these dinners I had the pleasure of even meet new people! Hopefully with all of them we will share  new experiences in the mountains! (After a previous cold beer,... !)

Unfortunately,... as always happens good things end, maybe faster than we would have liked,...

Maybe that's why they are good things, ...

Now,reality is back, and since some days ago I am back to Baltimore,... in somehow I must say, I was looking forward to come back! Strange isn't it?
