Another Bank holiday


Second public holiday in a row and foolishly, I thought that we could cross the border and go to the market in Figueres. Christian had to stay home as 220 students from the top engineering schools in France on a week long endurance event were spending the night in the village and he needed to be on hand should any problems arise.We, on the other hand, cut our loses and drove up the valley; a coffee stop, a bit of sightseeing, lunch in Maçanet where we bumped into some folk from the village then home by way of Sylvie's salon where the three of us had our hair done. Believe it or not, the traffic was just as bad at 19h30 as it was in the morning and it took us an hour to get home. By this time we were all in need of a drink so once Ken had parked up the car we stopped by the bar for a glass of wine. Christian joined us there after a pretty basic meal with the students served with water!! Paradise??
