Every September, Pontevedra says “Let’s bring the Middle Ages back for a weekend.”

Feira Franca, is a historic market that began in 1467 when King Henry IV granted the city the right to hold a tax-free market.

Today, the streets fill with people dressed in medieval clothes, music, food, wine, crafts, horses and plenty of partying. The whole city becomes one giant medieval festival, and everyone gets in on the fun!

And just like that… the farting unicorn is complete!

Ourense decided a bridge wasn’t exciting enough, so they added a giant stairway that goes UP… and UP… down and UP.

And Dan decided to celebrate his birthday by taking up bridge climbing. We made it to the top, … although we will NOT be doing this professionally. 🤣

Not exactly gordito-friendly, but hey—if it doesn’t challenge you, it’s probably not a very good adventure! ❤️😂

Galician rule … don’t ask what it is… just eat it and enjoy it! Si o si

When life gives you onions… braid them… and ignore the spider webs!

The tomatoes are tomatoing. 🍅
The onions are onioning (not pictured). 🧅
The sunflowers are sunflowering. 🌻
The corn seems to be well on its way to corning. 🌽😂

The pumpkin and cucumbers, however, seem to have adopted a very relaxed approach to personal growth. 🎃🥒

I’m taking lazy gardening to the extreme—no rhyme or reason, visiting the plants when I feel like it rather than when they probably need me, letting them do their thing, and then taking all the credit when something actually grows. 😂 I’m basically just growing things that are pretty, useful, or preferably both.

Anyone else practicing the art of “let’s see what happens” gardening?
