No time to waste

We enjoyed every moment of the weekend, and did more than we would normally do in 3 weekends.
It began on Friday night, when we went to the Corte Ingles supermarket in Gijon to buy our groceries and have a look at the new Spring clothes collection. After dinner we cuddled up on the couch and watched some tv.

On Saturday we got up much earlier than we would normally do on a Saturday morning, and went skiing in San Isidro. I gave Mónica some skiing lessons, until she had enough and decided to get a suntan. I skied some more on my own, and by the end of the day we both had a nice summer colour.
We made a romantic dinner at home and finished the day watching the movie 'Trapped' with Kevin Bacon.

On Sunday we got up early again, and after finding out that Asturias's pride Fernando Alonso had won the Malaysian Grand Prix, we went to visit the sunday market in Gijon. It's the biggest market I have ever visited.
After lunch we visited the Park 'Isabel la Catolica' and had a walk along the shore to see the statue 'the emigrant's mother'.

I came upon this excellent blogsite by chance. But I like to saty and come back after seeing this welcome: "Hello to the people visiting this site from Lahore, Pakistan." It gives so personal touch. Thanks.

The personal touch is a trick. It surprises people when they visit the page for the first time. Some even think: hey, he's from around here! Others think: how does he know where I am? Either way, they are intrigued by it, stay and start to read. But I'm glad you like it. ;-)
