After Semana Santa (which is really "10-days Santa") life got more or less back to normal. that is to say, we didn't have school Monday (still Semana Santa), I don't teach on tuesday, and on Wednesday I went to Madrid with Pat to get her (and our suitcase full of ski boots, helmets, pants, etc.) on the flight back to the US. I also spent the rest of the day engaged in a couple of my favorite pursuits this year: Museum visiting and eating. I engaged in the former at the Joaquín Sorolla museum/house, and the latter at an Indian restaurant (FINALLY, some spicy food!). Sorolla was Spain's best known impressionist painter, and since he hailed from Valencia, most of his best work deals with the Mediterranean sun on the beach. His home in Madrid was converted into a museum displaying his best works along with some original furniture and Sorolla's ceramic collection. At 3 Euros, well worth the trip.

After returning to Zaragoza, I had 2 days of classes, a weekend (Ben's soccer game, of course), and 2 more days of classes, then we departed for Belgium. That goes in tomorrow's blog, Justyne.
