Very unusual, indeed! Would love to know the full story .. purpose, cost of labor to place, etc.

Let us know if you find out anything.

So much nicer to look at than hectares of plastic!

Rachael - you look relaxed and happy enough to take on a few more summits today.

You go, girl!

That is a beautiful sign! And 1.5m seems safe. I've never seen a sign in the US specifying the safe passing distance and it makes me wonder what it is from state to state.

I think in Oregon it's 3ft. And from what we've observed in CO, it's "We don't have time or patience for cyclists and pedestrians." That's how it feels in suburban Denver, at least. There may be safe pockets somewhere in the state(?)

Anyhow, good for Spain! Almost everything you've shared in this journal will make it a likely tour destination for the Grumbys. I, in particular, am especially fond of feeling safe from vehicular assassination.

Better here than the endless suburbs of Denver, I’d think.

Well I hate to ruin your mornings, but our time in the Schengen Zone is about spent. The world doesn’t end with Europe though, you know.

Could be. The granularity could be about right for either squash and lemons, and both are growing in the vicinity.

My thought also. I was going to caption it along those lines but Rachel thought it might not be PC. Actually, it looks like they’re individual plant protectors.

Maybe a squash of some sort?

Hey Scott. Sue and I thought exactly the same thing on our recent tour. We were always impressed with Spain's courteous drivers; consistently giving a wide berth when passing. Lovely shots, by the way! I must admit that I will be at somewhat of a loss of what to do with my mornings now that your tour is winding down. Can't you just keep going....for my sake?

Definitely! It’s been nice having smooth roads with little or no cars.

OK. I copied this comment and pasted to my Bike Tour recommendation document.

Thanks!

Maybe we'll even be lucky enough to cross paths.

Light is everything, isn’t it? This looked like nothing earlier in the afternoon.

We’ve had a few experiences like this, and I’m always a bit awestruck by their accomplishments and how long their days are. It’s like they’re doing half of our whole tour in a single day.
