Ripoll, Spain! - Friday October 1st.

We arrived in the southern foothills of the Pyranees, 3 days after Paul and I joined the Pleasant Revolution. They found us on N22 HWY between the towns of Ax Les Thermes France, and Puigcerda, Spain. After some troubles with gear not working, bike ticket, fear of cops, and some goodness in Barcelona as well, Paul and I were blessed to join the "golden bubble" of good fortune of the Pleasant Revolution. The golden bubble is a term I did not understand at first but only could imagine. I quickly realized its existence, arriving at the best camp sites of improvisation, the best food and friendship, and meeting amazing people and beautiful sceneries that are straight out of the most imaginative dream of peace and beauty.  My dreams have been as good as my realities in the past three days. I have dreamt of a loss that was similar to death, but in dying I found myself laughing and crying with friends in an intimate way that only emotion can depict. I still see the dark of the world but happily enjoy the possibilities of laughter spreading goodwill and finding direction in thought and imagination. Some good ideas have been coming to me. I'll marinate them for a bit before I share. Soaking in Europe for a week and a half more. Looks like we are staying here for a couple days as we have found some good people that are treating us very well, as well as finding a great place to play music in town (Ripoll, Spain).
