It’s impressive how fast you get used to one place, how fast you stop thinking to new acts but just feel comfortable with new people in new situations. If you like something, it’s easy to get “addicted” and search for repeating it ; I would say that’s nice… but maybe I am wander too much now!

We are at the telescope from Tuesday, and we are leaving tomorrow, and seems a long nice time has been passed… Life here is beat by the observations.
Lunch is at 13:30 and dinner at 20:30. The food is amazing, kind of traditional Spanish cousin, muy rica and really strong..maybe the cook thinks that high in the mountain you need energy, even if you are an astronomer sitting all the day in front of a computer! And without even using the brain so much..
Today we had  paella, yesterday sword-fish and empanadillas for lunch ..ahh, soo good!

Besides eating, you have to observed, of course! We are six people here to run observations, which are supposed to be 24h/day…supposed to, because we had pretty bad weather the first day, and tonight up to lunch time..usually the sky clears when we all decide to go to bed! let’s see what is going to happen today..

Ah, right, Montgomery  itself helps now to schedule the time at the observatory. It comes right after lunch time, and waits patient and with experienced touching eyes.. someone is going to feed it soon. (for who hasn’t get yet, Montgomery is the fox on the left).

And then of course other things happen, like going outside for a walk at sunset right after the snow has stopped. You enjoy the sun, take amazing pictures, and you can even manage to fell on the only squared meter with cement in the whole mountain!
Or you can organize on the spot a “bi-lingual scrubble match” to keep you away while observing at 3 in the morning. And to make it easier, you play against a German, with the Spanish alphabet… and you poor italian are allowed to use only german words and vice versa..
[We didn't go very far..]

Oh! As I said, we have routines, and since it’s almost half past eight, good food smell is coming up from the kitchen.. see you!
