The trip to Zaragoza was marred by dense fog this morning in Spain. We still went though, and I’m really glad we did; it’s been a fantastic day at last. On the way down into Spain we hit fog for miles and miles but suddenly the sun decided to burst through it all, creating the greatest visual display I’ve seen in a long while; it had a certain brilliance about it all, like it shouldn’t really be happening. I couldn’t get a picture because I was in the back of the car, but we were surrounded by bright white; as if we’d gone to heaven.I love this city anyway, but on a freezing cold sunny winter’s day nothing much beats it. I could have chosen a picture of the bull ring or the great cathedral, but you can get those online; this one of the main street looking down through the fog into the sun is my favourite, it just about sums up my day. There’s something about that one guy standing there in the middle that makes it for me; plus all the people around, staring into the light.
I could go on about what I did there but it’s not that interesting really lunch was nice and the trip home was painless. This time my uncle wanted to come though so it did slow things down a fair bit; he seemed somewhat obsessed with programming his sat nav to get us there and back. Needless to say it didn’t really work that well, I wasn’t exactly helpful though; I thought it’d be fun to change the language into Spanish so we could ‘fit in’ more. It got turned off fairly swiftly.
