Walk to work

On my way to work, now I am walking until my collarbone  is good again. I walk to the train, and from the train to the office.Right on the first or second time I saw this two pieces of architecture:

abandoned house

I liked


this building from the first time i saw it- a high transparent hallway with a woodstove in  the center, natural stone walls, the kaktus and palmtrees providing shade and visual protection, its long inclined roofline, the way it sits on the slopey ground. Even its huge size did not matter too much.How much more I was surprised when I passed by again, and the entrance gate stood wide open. Years of old newspapers around. I carefully stepped onto the compound finding out that it has been abandoned a long time ago. I did not investigate it thoroughly and just took these pictures close by the entrance.

R 90


No surprise I got into motorcycles and riding here, taking a walk in the streets  i am exposed to the nicest bikes!
Still have a bad clavicle. I so want to get back to working with my hands and some riding!

Camping Legessy (http://www.camping-legessy.com)

this was one of the very good if not to say best camping spots on the 2011 tour Valencia-Frankfurt-Valencia. It was on our way back south, the region is called "Drome Provencale" and the owner confirmed that it is still "sauvage",well it made us stay several days on that site. We followed Alain and Cristiane, the owners of camping Legessy, on a trailride passing lavender fields and a mountain ridge. They rode an old Honda xlv 750. That I guess made me trade my trusty Transalp for a 1986 Tenere. As we started working again back in Valencia, I wanted to move to that place badly. In my memory the whole experience had turned into something different, almost like a myth or memory of a story long ago.
