Sunday Escape

COVID-19 may be ruining the economy and collapsing the health system, but I'm not complaining about having Angelines at home 100% over the weekend.  We were able to spend Saturday and Sunday as a family--such a gift.  No late nights at the bar, which translate into late mornings for Angelines; no bar to clean for Emily and me.  We were all up together and had pancakes for breakfast, walked the dog, did chores around the house that we couldn't get to during the week...  It was fantastic.

Sunday was especially great.  We are confined to our towns under these new restrictions, but technically the sierra out of town where we celebrated our wedding is still city property so...  After a long walk on the converted train track with Norte in the morning, we came home and quickly threw everything together to make migas in the countryside.  With the car loaded, we picked up my mother-in-law and headed out.

It was the perfect day: no wind, just a light breeze and sunny cloudless skies.  It was actually downright hot in the sun.  Emily even ended up taking off her shirt at one point.  We set up "camp" and spent about five hours cooking, eating, exploring and just enjoying each other.  Laughing in the fresh air, seems to me to be about the best remedy for all the craziness going on around us.  

This weekend, weather permitting, we are going to spend another day up in the sierra, :)

Migas: fried bread with chorizo, morcilla, potato and garlic.  It's eaten with pommegranet and other juicy fruit (grapes, melon or orange).
