First day out and we cycled 32 miles through vineyards and olive orchards to a town called Poblet where a beautiful Abbey stood.
At lunch that day I tasted the most delicious sausage of my life. The restaurant was in a town I don't recall and unfortunately I don't know the name of the establishment either but the owner and chef was the most adorable man. He lived in the states for a while and so his English was quite good. As I spoke the most Spanish of the group I was deemed the official translator. My Spanish improved impressively over the course of the trip and I feel like if we had been there another month I would have been nearly fluent. Restaurants are hard however because most of the menus are in Catalan, which is a strange combination of French and Spanish. I do want to let everyone know the gentleman that provided this tour has made a thriving business out of taking small groups on these biking excursions. His website is http://www.lemonastere.com/ and if you are interested in this type of trip please contact him. All photos today were taken by Peter's Dad John....Thanks John!
Frog humping is very popular in Spain!
