Marty’s photo of the day #3030: This is one of the many mountain villages Deb and I drove past while exploring northern Spain for the Europe chapter of Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents.

If I remember correctly, we were lost when I took this photo. Then again, we just needed to make it to Switzerland in a few days and had no firm destination at that particular time. So was it even possible for us to be lost? Some of our fondest memories in Europe involved “getting lost.” There are distinct advantages to traveling without a cell phone or a GPS.
