Where Ana's Father is From

On Monday, we drove into the countryside with Aunt Trini to see where Ana's father was from and grew up. Let's just say, we drove up the side of a mountain! Here are some views of "the old homestead" as well as some pictures of the town closest to where he grew up, where his birth was registered.

A mistletoe tree. Protected in Spain. And yes, I did get a kiss from her after this picture!

The top of the mountain. This all used to be farmland where Ana's father grew up, but about 30 years ago the slate mining company came in. Then, they simply abandoned everything! Several huge machines and a Petro tank left behind.
