For half of the day, we chilled at the house. In the early afternoon, we went to Jaca. There, we researched where we could go to see Wallcreepers. My family and I then headed to a Wallcreeper destination that seemed promising. It was a place near the town of Siresa, but we could never find the gorge where many people had seen Wallcreepers. On our way to the invisible gorge, we helped out a nice couple that needed a ride, then stopped at a nice area near a river. We looked around, seeing maps of trails, and gazing at the picturesque river. All of the sudden, Olivia spotted a movement on the rocks. It was a DIPPER! A Dipper is an adorable little bird that likes water, thus the river, and that I honestly don't know much about. All I know is that after we saw it, O and I went crazy with joy, and then did what our dad dubbed the "Dipper Skip." After jumping up and down, we skipped down the street. Yay! So, even though we tried and failed to see the Wallcreeper, we did see a great lifer.
We got home pretty late, but we couldn't help but stop by the store to get something to eat. Mama fixed up a tasty dinner of farfalle pasta (called pajaritos in Spanish, since they look like little birds) jamon/white cream sauce with bits of jamon serrano inside. With bread, it was divine. Olivia and I ate chocolate lava cake from the store, all warm and melty in the middle.
