Doggerland in the news again

52. About these sites:

I knew about mines in Las Médulas due to a man (from Argentina) in the same village I live who spoke me about them. I said about these mines to my wife (she's the only one person who drive in my family; I'm terrified with cars since I had the acccident). When we could do it, we went there to spent few days in León (a province of Spain where the mines are) and we went to the mines. I'm fascinated about that site. As I always do with this kind of sites, I tried to imagine me living there thousands of years ago. I imagined that (living there) without being an slave. It had too much violence for me to imagine me as an slave. I saw pictures about how slaves worked in those mines, and is terrifying how they worked.

I recommend you look for photos on internet to see how beatiful and small is that site.

The site near Barcelona (Gavà mines) were a point of extraction of variscite around five thousands of years ago. Now, it's in the center of a small city, and I imagine that lots of modern buildings have been built where the mines were before being found. Today it's an small site to visit.

And I went alone with my wife because I don't know anybody of my age, and near my home, who likes the same I like it, and I don't want to search for he/she. Since the accident (because those who I thought were my friends left me alone) I prefer doing things alone, I don't like to depend of anyone else except my (lovely) wife.

Once, in my visit to Orkney in 2016 I found a girl from the same village where I live working as an archaeologyst in the Ness of Brodgar, but then I had 48 years old and she had 21. We hadn't the same interests out of the excavation and she had her friends on the excavation and she were living with them all time (they were students from different countries). I didn't wanted to interfer in their friendship. And one day I left the Ness and Orkney few days after meeting her. She was a strange person, and me too. But I had had a terrible accident, and she didn't.

It's hard to live with the consequences of an accident.
