No climbing, which was hard and a lot of people called me crazy for doing, but it was a nice change to go on a trip like that. I've never done a non-climbing trip, so it was a whole new experience. Me and a friend started in Amsterdam and slowly made our way down to Barcelona and then up to Scotland to finish. It was an awesome trip, loads of fun and very relaxing. ]]> Tue, 15 Jun 2010 21:35:00 -0400 9872 2010-06-15 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9872_defaultnoimage_1276643730.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/9871-filmfestival-explos http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/9871-filmfestival-explos The last weekend, I've been in Ax les Thermes, this is a nice little city in the french pyrenees.
