Riu went to see the castle at Consuegra…

… but mostly Riu went to see the windmills at Consuegra. Giddy up, Mama.

.

These are the windmills that inspired the classic section of Don Quijote.

Very dramatic lighting, clouds, and landscape.

We camped the night right by the windmills. It was pretty magical.

Riu went for a slide down the inside of the hammock.

It’s a little lesson in how static electricity works.

Riu doesn’t like how static electricity works.

After a few days relaxing in Barcelona, it was time to travel south.

Here’s Riu in her grandad’s house in Murcia.

We went to see the sea, at the seaside, beside the sea.

Riu has been learning to climb steps.

She’s fearless about them.

“And I can’t wait to get on the road again.
On the road again”

“Goin’ places that I’ve never been.
Seein’ things that I may never see again”

“Hey, it’s good to be back home again”

“Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend
Yes, ‘n, hey it’s good to be back home again”

Before heading back to Barcelona, Riu hangs out in Dublin.

All wrapped up in her bear suit against the Irish temperatures.

Papa, let’s go home to Barcelona.
