Responding to Dyl's request for photos of cortijo

Tried to post some but too large, will need to resize some at home and do more prep.
Made a run to the Guadix post office today to buy stamps. Finally got enough to mail Xmas cards, etc, but had to buy other than the right denominations. Was told to put two on each letter, so don't know how much is going to the economy. Oh, well, it might help avert a bailout...
Checked out some neat pottery shops. Found a cazuela which by mail order in the states, costs about $25. Here, it was Eu.2.5o. But getting it home would be horrendous. Bought a couple for Is' new digs in Algorfa.
Must vacate my spot at the Comunity Center and go home to carry firewood. It's not drizzling and I need to lug in a couple of days ahead, to give it drying time. Kind of like camping, but larger than a tent. I'd love to see what it's like in the summer. Probably will someday.
Gor is a neat little town of around 2000 people, though it doesn't appear so. It's tucked into the base of some huge hills that are in the Natural Park. We walk or drive by a spot that used to be up a cliff and comes down fairly regularly in installments.
Must run, Ciao!
