After soaring by track finally got crushed to a source. What was thirsty!. I drank some water and stayed there for a small shadow while resting.
After the break I came back and enjoyed the beautiful beech forest that ran cross from one side to another. After a while we rise to a large field from which you could already see the Aratz.
Elena said stopping to throw the cigarette and how well deserved it took for me to eat, thank goodness because I was the aunt without breakfast, imagine hunger, I ate all the feed.
there was nothing, or so it seemed from the campaign because it seemed that there was Aratz next. But what I did not know that was the worst.
The final stretch began well by a marked path between trees as avazábamos disappears from going. We reached a point where we had to face the rocky mass of Aratz and the road began to unravel because the signal was not very clear. As shown in my moms wore it seems that we had to go straight on the rocks to find such a "scar" was the way he had to climb. The idea of \u200b\u200bclimbing through the rocks must have done him no thank you to Teresa that he thought was best, first of all, tying it boots just in case, so we stopped a second to it. While I spent watching the scenery of the area and pass-sniffing to see if there was some game .... do not see anything.
right now with boots tied decided to do what was in the book and began to climb the media in search of the famous scar. In fact, I think they had no idea where you had to go so I went as a guide.
I was pulling them up the hill until we reached a point where the girls seemed strange that they had to go out there and made me stand up to "think." Looking at the side suddenly found the "scar" that was on our right, but to get there had to drop a bit by throwing rocks hand (throwing hand them throwing me balls). So I decided to go down and scares me, I did not go down, I was afraid.
got down or rather got pushed me down, and notebooks where to saw we had to go ... Belter, at least the view was breathtaking.
The road was very rocky, I dug the stones on the pads as well and then I slipped, it was horrible, and over how hot it was ...
When he came we had almost reached a godsend as compensation: a lizard, I had a pipe chasing her, the aunt was hiding among the rocks and there was no way to catch it, come back another day and pillared sure.
We arrived at the cross. While these photos was done I kept looking for the lizard, was convinced that she had also risen.
I gave up for lost. Elena and Teresa got their sandwiches, and when he had assumed that my not going to give me even a bit because I had eaten I went to the edge and flipped to the views of the mountain. That day I fell in love with
Aratz
So I sat eating while watching the scenery and try to guess where we came. "That down there is Araia?
