I FINALLY got to go get a few decent pictures of the MR2 out in Spain. After having trouble getting my wife and kid here, not being able to get my car for a bit, work being crazy, spraining one wrist, doing a PT test said sprained wrist and that same day breaking my other wrist, I finally got to go explore.
There are literally MILES of sunflowers here, covering some awesome hill country. The roads are either highways or washboard, so I stuck to the highways when I could. I still haven’t washed her yet, she’s covered in transatlantic dirt and dust, she needs an oil change, and I have to find a fix an oil leak. But for the first time in a year, I can park it in a garage at night, wrench out of the elements, and maybe even clay bar it (It really needs it). Next up? Buy a decent trolly jack.
...Oh yeah, I also got a new puppy! (The smaller one) He is a mix of black lab, pitt, or some local breed, can’t figure it out, poor fella got dumped at a recuse that couldn’t take him in. Vet says he’s good to go, might have to get him clipped, chipped, and tagged, I kinda want to keep him (We’re really only fostering him).

Andalusia, I’m guessing. I remember fields like that when I lived there. It was either sunflowers, olive groves or vineyards.

I will when I leave. Awesome roads, cheap food and booze, beautiful women and beaches.

I lived north and a little west of there in a small city called Moron de la Frontera. We used to go through Jerez to get to the big US Navy base at Rota.

No, Navy. Moron is an air base but when I was there it had more Navy personnel on it than Air Force, but we’re still only talking maybe 50 people. Back then we had to live in the town since the barracks weren’t up to snuff, which nobody minded too much. I heard that they later improved the barracks and made everybody move on base.
