sí, ayer cuando fui a arenas { 5 hora para el salvaje monte - screwighways! } vi algún nieve encima de los topos. el tiempo 'corre' como mi coco: sehr durchwachsen. que llevo? a lot less than folks around here. parece que mis calzoncillos { casi lederhosen } no son exactamente de moda aquí. entonce, sí me cogen { hi paul } no podría ser sólo debido el machete.

OK, let me see if I got you right...are you saying that you are running around in your underwear (leather or not) over the paths of Cabrales' And wielding a scythe (or machete) into the bargain?! You're gonna scare even the wolves away!

Vale, a ver si te entendí...dices que andas por los senderos de Cabrales en calzoncillos (aunque parezcan de cuero) y con una guadaña (o un machete)?! Vas a asustar hasta a los lobos!

No machetes here, but my brother and nephew (retired probation officer and police officer (crime scene investigation), respectively) carry rather fearsome looking switchblade knives.

I make do with nothing but a small Swiss army knife, which I find a use for at least a dozen times a day. Imagine the Swiss, defending their frontier for years, armed nothing more than those little knives.

Jeez, Peter, I'm with Terechu on this one: I'm not sure I'd want to hang around a guy who only wears socks and carries a machete! Going Neanderthal? You're raising the bar for the section of "Introduction of Members"!

I'm sure you're making a strong impression on the locals. That's got to help get you accepted and adored. Most people love a character!

---------------------------

Meca, Peter, coincido con Terechu: ¡No estoy seguro si quiero andar un hombre quien viste solamente calcetines y lleva un machete! ¿Vas a hacerse neandertal? ¡Estás elevando el listón para la sección de "Presentación de miembros"!

Estoy seguro de que estás haciendo una fuerte impresión en los lugareños. (¿Se dice "lugareños"?) Debe ayudar hacerse conocido y adorado. ¡A la mayoría nos encanta un tipo!

cada martes sube el camión con frutas y verduras a berodia:

I'm with you in spirit, Peter. When I was hospitalized a few years back (first time since my tonsillectomy in first grade), my favorite nurse knocked on the door. I refuse to wear the little johnny coats and called out "I'm naked", not knowing which nurse it was and not wanting to shock anyone. Her response was "Oh God, you're always naked (true) and walked right in. Didn't bother me or her in the least. I'll have to think about socks, though, since I usually go barefoot or wear boat shoes.

If I let my hair and beard grow a little longer, I could do the Neanderthal thing. A funny name, when you think about it, Names after the Neader Valley (from the Latin for new man), but they are older than our own lineage - Cro-Magnon.

You're funny, Bob! I can see you two romping through the fields now.

Peter, have you seen any of Chris Stewart's books? He wrote about an adventure somewhat like yours, albeit near Granada. I think you'd enjoy them.

¡Eres gracioso, Bob! Estoy imaginando los dos retozando por los prados.

Pedro, ¿has visto los libros de Chris Stewart? Escribió algo sobre una aventura como la tuya, aunque cerca de Granada. Creo que los disfrutarías.

A Parrot in the Pepper Tree

It seems like Peter should be writing his own book about wild adventures in Berodia--including scenes of locals romping through fields in Lederhosen and scaring off tourists with agricultural power tools.

I wonder if he already has a mote (nickname). People are pretty quick when they find an apt descriptor for colorful characters. Roberto Frassinelli, a 19th century German illustrator and mountaineer, was known as 'L'aleman de Corao'. He too had a thing for nudity. Look him up, he's buried somewhere near Cangues d'Onis. Probably minus his clothes.

Here’s a wiki:

In the meantime, to keep people guessing, here's someone's blog about organic gardening in Asturias. It's a useful source for tips on what to plant and how to maintain your garden:

Yes, a book from Peter is a wonderful idea. He has embarked on an adventure that is well worth publishing.

We buy mostly organic meat (grass fed beef when we can get it) and produce, and our fishmonger can tell us when and where the fish were harvested, sometimes the name of the vessel and the captain as well.

As to nudity, it works wonders against door to door religious proselytizers.

Yeah, my (perhaps too subtle) subtext to Peter was that he could write a book about his experiences. It might even become popular. Chris Stewart's books supposedly became best sellers.

That first video has some beautiful scenery. Berodia must be phenomenal.
I think a water sprite must have gotten to the second one; I was getting sea sick!

Sí, mi (tal vez demasiado sutil) subtexto a Pedro fue que podía escribir un libro sobre sus experiencias. Podría incluso llegar a ser popular. Los libros de Chris Stewart supuestamente se convirtieron a best-sellers.

El primer vídeo tiene bellos paisajes. Berodia debe ser fenomenal.
Creo que un xana debe haber robado la segunda; me estaba mareando!
