And this time, I was capturing near to house, garden, school, church ... well, in a village ! a typical small spanish village, where everybody knows everybody. And what's happen when a new personne is in the village, moreover this personne are walking with a fish cane and watching walls !

Crazy weather !
This sunday it was incredible, after some weeks of sun and hot weather, we passed to other weather: cold and frozen ! Yep, it snowed in the mountain and my village ! incredible ! I don't know if it's because the "dimanche de Pâques" or not.
No! it's not me with my fish cane searching lizards !!!!!!!
Today, it's holiday only in cataluña valencia. But in madrid it's working day ! In Cataluña, there is a costumber to gift a cake or chocolate eggs to their
The tradition of the Mona de Pascua goes back back to centuries. Formerly the Mona was a twisted roll adorned with hard eggs. Nowadays the figure of the egg, although of chocolate stays. In Catalonia it is celebrated Monday of Passover eating these typical pies that, over the years and of the hand of the pastelero union, have become authentic chocolate sculptures. According to the tradition, the godfathers give Mona to their godsons Monday of Pascua and full stop usually eat in family this same day, festive in Catalonia, putting to the Easter.
The Mona is a sponge cake covered with chocolate and adorned with traditional eggs of chocolate, pens of colors, the typical yellow chicks and little figures of the personages fashionable of the moment: soccer players, cartoons, political… In the last years, are habitual protagonists the Lunnis and always there is place for the classic ones of Disney: Goofy, Pluto, Mickey, Paint in miniature… Nevertheless, for who wishes something simpler, also chocolate figures can be found more traditional, like hens or eggs, of different measures and colors.
There is one who says that the origin of “Mona” word goes back to the Arabs, who gave painted egg baskets of colors, calls “munna”, like friendship symbol. Others consider that it comes from the Romans, that were hard eggs with grazes of bread. Whatever from the antiquity the egg has symbolized the birth and the resurrection.
In Catalonia and Valencia the Monkeys of Passover have great tradition. In Barcelona, it is considered that the pastry shop Dog Massana, located in the street of Ferran, went first in adding Mona to a chocolate figure. They say that it was the figure of a mona and that raised as much sense of expectancy that the following years, people of all Catalonia moved to the capital to admire and to buy the chocolate mona.
What began being a simple pie, with time has acquired the great sophistication, of the hand of the pasteleros, that carve authentic works of art in chocolate. Nowadays all the Catalan pastry shops and many bakeries sell this typical candy. One of them is the centennial House You live, that from 1895 delights yet to its clients with elaborated Mona de pascua and type of pies and confectioner's in any other date of the year, with establishments in Sants, Balmes and Boulevard of Catalonia. The laboriosidad of the figures does that the average price of these small and ephemeral works of art does not lower of the 30 Euros and increases based on the sophistication of the chosen model.

Yep, I'm French and ....
I speak currently spanish ! Yep, I have a new "field story". So, I was going to capture my lizards ! Yep, I know in this moment my life is resume by capture animals.
Well, I was going up in the reserve zone "FUENFRIA valle", where only personal with permit can enter and go up with car. I have both, a car and a permission ! And of course I have the key to open the two doors !
So, I was going up, I was passing and seeing a lot of people walking and in bicycle. But, nobody said to me nothing ... for the moment. Because generaly, people are not happy to see me go up with my car, and themselves walking !
I arrived in my capture site, I parked my car and go to capture. Everything was good, a lot of lizards, sun ect... (no sex!).
When arrived two boys in bicycle, one said:
"-look it's the french guy, look he arrived up till here, it's not normal, ufff these frenchies ... ect ... it could be good to make a formal complaint in police ! "
-what ??? I'm the frenchy, and I understand perfectly your spanish ! bloody fool ! and make me a complaint, you will see ! I'm working ! fuck ! "
So, after my response very active, they didn't said nothing and continued their way ... but without sound !
Why people think that I'm up in the mountain with my car for pleasure and happyness ! No, I'm working ! I'm working in order that they can use this reserve area without problem !
when people will be more smart and less stupid ! because if I go up, it's because I have the key, and if I have the key it's because I have the permission of the community to be here !
