Expedition
It has been raining all morning but it's supposed to kind of stop on the afternoon, or at least rain less. Went I left home it hadn't stop yet, but it was only a few drops, maybe a little more in Barcelona, but there I had only to transfer trains and I barely was outside for 3 minutes.
Train was on schedule and had time for some reading. Funny coincidence, I am currently reading a book of Salvador Espriu and he is very linked to Arenys de Mar, where I am heading. It was not planned at all since I started the book a few days ago and only because while returning from my last expedition I forgot the book I was reading at my friend's car and had to start a new one until I get that back.
Once in Arenys it was still raining so I had to use my umbrella. Since I was this well prepared not even an honourable drown rat would be appropriate. However I did not go for the hash directly. I had the opportunity to first-to-find a geocache in Arenys so I went for that cache.
Having that done, now I could go for the hash and at this point it had almost stopped raining so I put the umbrella away. Took the shortest route to the hash and reached the coordinates successfully under some pine trees. Funny enough, one of the streets I walked on was called "Camí Vell del Mal Temps", that could be translated "Old Path of the Bad Weather" ("temps" means time or weather). I didn't know the rain was because of the street...
Then I walked for a while around the port and took the next train to Barcelona.
