Weekend

We haven't managed to do much skiing this year. At first it was the lack of snow, but now it's lack of time; our weekends get booked up. The one which is finishing we really had  to spend in Zaragoza, because of family and church commitments. It's fun to spend a few hours shopping - mostly just exploring and poking about, and it's nice to sit at a big table and share tapas and beer and lament the state of the economy with the sisters and brothers-in-law: really good "paratas bravas" (fried potatoes with mayonnaise and Tabasco). It makes a change to go for long walks along really crowded, busy streets, but it's also lovely to find that, driving back, most of the cars are going the other way! The city's hoardes of skiers are going home. It does tcrowded in Jaca at the weekends in the skiing season, but it's still more comfortable to be here than in Zaragoza.
Tuesday is a big day in Jaca. The prince and princess of Asturias are coming to reinaugurate the Diocesan Museum. It's been closed for years, but now for this "Jacobean" year, they've made a special effort.
