\nAlternates<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
\nMy daughter had made cookies as a present for Egle:

<\/p>\n
\nEaster eggs painted in the traditional Eastern European fashion:
\n![\"_1000755\"](\"uploads\/2010\/14alt2.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nThe eggs are hardboiled, which is a good thing since the children played a form of indoor p\u00c3\u0192\u00c2\u00a9tanque with them:
\n![\"_1000762\"](\"uploads\/2010\/14alt3.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nWe had left home while it was still dark, but the first petrol stop was made after sunrise:
\n![\"L1001018\"](\"uploads\/2010\/14alt4.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nThis old Chevy was being sold by a friend of the station’s owner:
\n![\"L1001013\"](\"uploads\/2010\/14alt5.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nThe cockpit:

\nMountain road near Sierra Nevada:
\n![\"L1001025\"](\"uploads\/2010\/14alt7.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nThis hotel is located at an altitude of just over 2500 m (about 8200 ft for non-metric viewers):
\n![\"L1001031\"](\"uploads\/2010\/14alt8.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nSome drivers are not up to the challenge:

<\/p>\n
\nIbex feeding near the exit of the ski resort Pradollano:

<\/p>\n
\nOn the way home we stopped for dinner at a roadside restaurant. This little girl was quite impatient while waiting for the food, and had to be entertained using the game machine:
\n![\"L1001046\"](\"uploads\/2010\/14alt11.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nMy son spent spring break with us. We went to walk the dog together every day, sometimes stopping at a local bar for a pint:

<\/p>\n
\nTaco sunbathing in front of the kitchen. Relaxing is what cats do best:

<\/p>\n
\nA stand at the Mercado Central. I have never understood the relationship between Armani and sausages:
\n![\"_1000801\"](\"uploads\/2010\/14alt14.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\nAlso at the Mercado, the girl in the high-end coffee stand. I sometimes buy good coffee from her. I assume that the business must be down a bit during this crisis; after all, food is a necessity, Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee is not:
