after our brief stop at the dali museum in figueras, we arrived at Mas Franch outside of Girona spain and began building with straw, barbatine (clay and water) and stones. Our spanish friends have great things happening, good food to eat from the garden and they love to make a fiesta, especially for birthday boys. we plan to bring some of these bioconstruction techniques back to baltimore where clay soils are plentiful. the barbatine makes a nice exfoliating mask and helps with the venom from a whasp sting. half way point and we still sleep in the same bed.
preparing for battle with a stomach bug. apparently the protection wasnt enough. we spent a few days camping in a small town near the train tracks with a bit of food poisoning from professor sambroskis polish stew. adam has whit safe and sound in the gilloteen. we continued south to avignon with flying colors and met some friends along the way.
