TRIPPIN’ SPAIN: Pueblo Blanco

The way the early morning sun lights the village clinging to the side of the mountain behind me brings the name of my story to me in a second, and the moment is instantly consigned to my mental notebook. The warm, golden sunshine ignites my soul as it sets the Spanish countryside ablaze with color. It is the moment I thought would never come. Struggling through heavy rain for three days, fighting inner demons as we picked our way along treacherous roads, and riding with our hearts in our mouths, knuckles white on the bars, had been tough. These difficulties were important though, and at that moment totally necessary, as the scene of intense beauty filling my visor could not have been so incredible without the struggle. Anyone can come to Spain, when under the cloudless blue sky, the late afternoon sun is turning the small white Pueblo’s gold against
the pastel Spanish landscape. But to see it after the rain intensifies the moment. The way the act of traveling tears through the fabric of time. In the saddle of the Tuono, I am singing in my helmet as the throttle gets twisted hard in search of the day’s new horizons.

On the pages of Jupiter’s Travels, Ted Simon learned not to let the rain enter his soul. Trudging around Cordoba, Spain, under skies heavy with low-lying rain clouds I remind myself of this. Accompanied by my friends, Dennis and Sam Gage, for our third European adventure together on two wheels, if anyone was feeling down, they weren’t admitting to it as we explored the ancient Spanish city.
