Andorra La Vella, Andorra

The weather was soooooo cold on Sunday that I really couldn't enjoy the natural beauty without freezing my ass off, so I decided to go to the center much earlier than I expected.  It was nice to walk around and see all the stores.  Later in the evening I went to a convention that happens once a year.  The next day I walked around the city center and even walked to a huge thermal water healing center.  It looked very relaxing, but was wayyyy too expensive, plus I was going back to Barcelona so I couldn't go to it.  Walking around the capital really seemed like I was just walked around in an airport because of all the duty free shops.  I am so happy that I was able to see both sides of Andorra, however I must say that I prefer the natural beauty of the country than all the shops.

Andorra

What a beautiful little country.  Thanks to my obsession about number count with countries, I went to this beautiful little gem.  The people are great and the natural beauty of this country is unbelievable.  I felt like every photo I took could've been for a calendar or a magazine. It is one of the most picturesque  countries I have ever been to, The population is about 75,000, most of which are immigrants. The weather was so crazy on Saturday.  It was beautiful enough for me to hike in the mountains and enjoy some stellar views.  Then I went to another valley to see some views and I saw a bit of snow.  Little did I know, it was going to snow real hard! I was able to experience Autumn and Winter in the same day! Despite the weather, I was lucky enough to attend a local's birthday party.  Also I was lucky enough to experience the last day of La Massana Fogons Gastronomy Days.  At the birthday party we ate soooooooo much delicious food.  I was so full, but they kept bringing plates and plates of different food, all of which I had to taste!  Next we went out to a bar, then finished at a club.  I was able to get so many more photos than I expected.  Everybody wanted to help out by either taking my camera and taking photos or call people over, lol.  When I left the club I couldn't believe the amount of snow that was on the ground!  What an experience my first full day in Andorra!!!!
*Also finally did a country count with the photos.....I'm at 65 different countries of people wearing the glasses!!!

the wind was soooo strong that 4 of these unusual birds ended up really close to the restaurant. unfortunately 2 died, 1 broke its wing and 1 was lucky. the locals had never seen these kinds of birds before!


Then after dinner some people discovered that there were a group of 4 HUGE birds on the street that aren't native to the area. The winds were so strong that they made the birds crash land on the street where we had dinner.  Animal control was phoned and they showed up in no time. I was very impressed due to the time of night in which they were called. 


  the clock says sydney! ill be going there in about 2 weeks!!
 People in Spain and Andorra eat dinner really late!!!!  We finished eating at 12:20am!! So much later than what I am used to!
