The first week in January I took a trip to Mulhacen, the highest peak in the Iberian Peninsula. The trip was an absolutely amazing experience. Since then I have been trying, and failing for the most part to upload a series of videos that covered the trip. The vids that made it are here:

Bijan has written some masterful insights about the trip. They can be found on his blog:
Day One
Day Two
There are two videos that I am unable to upload and coincidentally they are the best ones to sum up the experience of the trip. If I ever possibly get them uploaded I will post them but they have caused both my old and new computer to crash in my attempts so if they make it it will be a near miracle.
Other then the trip, or expedition might be a good term, I have been looking around for a job with not that much, rather no luck. I'm at a decision now on what I'm doing next. Whatever it is, I hope it works...

New Year's Eve
This New Year's Eve this year I was in Lebrija. We wound up going to a friend’s house for celebrating the New Year. TO celebrate the New Year everyone gathered around the table and waited for the year to come. Each strike of the clock everyone ate a grape. So with 12 strikes that's 12 grapes. This tradition is supposed to bring good luck for the New Year so hopefully I now have plenty of luck.
Afterwards we went downtown and there was a huge party in the center. Everyone was dressed up and celebrating and dancing. It was amazing to see so many people dressed up. Everyone seemed to be really enjoying themselves. I'm glad that I was able to see a lot more people than last year. In France the streets were dead but at least there was party here that lasted for an hour or so.
I wish everyone the best of luck for this New Year and many blessings for everyone.

With the power of the grapes I realized that I was truly so lucky lucky, so we celebrated in the street:
