"Vacation Re-Wind" - Days 1 and 2

Andorra and the Pyrenees Mountains
Andorra is a small country between France and Spain in the Pyrenees Mountains.
It's 181 sq miles, with about 171,000 people. Tourism accounts for about 80% of their economy - more than 9 million people visit every year. It's a tax haven for banks, and duty free for visitors.
We met on Sept 1st in Barcelona. We found each other, found our rental car and headed north. We made it to Andorra -and then spent day 2 at this small ski resort country/town.
We rode the lift up to the top, and here was the line for the lift. I can only imagine what it looks like during ski season. When it's 85 degrees - not one person in line.
We saw these HUGE horses along side the road - I had to see them! They were quite different than the horses you see in the US. He is standing in a ditch, as he was much bigger than I when he came up next to me.
