Two days ago we hitch hiked to Andorra, a tiny county under 200 sq miles with just over 70,000 people, on the French and Spanish border. Where we were in the country was about 6000 feet in elevation so we left our bikes at a friends house in France and used our thumbs to reach Andorra. After a night in the mountainous, snow capped, duty free country, we went back to France. We took a different route over the Pyrenees mountains back and when our last ride left us at the peak of the mountain, we did not get another ride (nor see more than a few cars) for the next 5 hours. Eric and I descended the mountain's switch back roads for all the hours mostly in silence in awe of the beauty of the walk. Luckily, it was not a walk we minded.
When we got back to the bikes, our English friend, Collen, offered us his chalet near his house to stay in. The chalet is set next to the river at the bottom of a extremely deep gorge. So again, we gladly changed plans a little and we stayed here a few days.
