Embracing the afternoon Spanish sun at a reservoir in Baza after a day's work in the cave.  The "beach" was a diagonal wall with steep steps etched into the concrete.

Each town in Spain has a designated day for their town's market, which typically includes fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses, and breads as well as clothes and household goods.  Kimberly's favorite Spanish market item... fresh figs!

Continuing our 7-year tradition of watching the sun rise on the 4th of July with apple pie.  We substituted with a nice Spanish apple pastry and found an old airplane hanger in a small town outside of Madrid to celebrate the morning.

Standing in the demolition hole before pouring a fresh batch of concrete for the new steps of the cave annex.  Concrete set in minutes under the heat of the afternoon, so our work was done early in the morning.

Cleaning, polishing, and finishing river rocks before applying them to the cave's bathroom vanity.  Part of the cave property and hills of Cortes de Baza behind.

Happy Birthday America!  Celebrating the 4th of July with our apple "pie" and sunrise.

One of many delicious meals shared with Ginny at her home in Carverio, Portugal.  Here, enjoying Vinho Verde and jumbo prawns that were purchased from the Portimao market that morning... a first course before Portuguese sausage and bean stew.&n

When it's too hot to keep biking, drink wine.  It's an unwritten rule during summers in Spain.

Daniel captures the colors of Carverio, a smaller beach along Southern Portugal's Algarve Coast.
