[QUOTE="peregrina2000, post: 953800, member: 537"] First of all, this was yet another one of those days where I couldn’t figure out how to use the GPS and we wound up taking a wrong turn and walking extra kms. It was frustrating because what was supposed to be a quick jaunt into Huesca got longer. I also cannot for the life of me remember how it is that I did not rush to the cloister/monastery of San Pedro el Viejo to get in before Sunday closing time. Maybe I was feeling bad about having led LT so far astray, but for whatever reason I never saw the monastery or the museum [USER=1799]@oursonpolaire[/USER] describes. I’ll chalk this whole day up as a colossal FAIL! Huesca is a very pretty city and we did enjoy our afternoon there, even though everything is always closed on Sunday afternoon. We wound up talking for a long time in a café with a couple of retired Guardia Civil. She had been a member of their biathlon team (I had to look up the name for “shooting a rifle while skiing”) and spent a lot of her time participating in international competitions. She also told some very interesting stories about the way in which the French/Spanish border was secured (or not) during the Franco era. She had been given early retirement because of a biathlon shoulder injury and was heading the next day back to her native Andalucía for the summer. I don’t know if they still do this, but the Guardia Civil used to have a rule that you couldn’t be posted in the region where you came from. It’s easier to smash the heads of protestors you don’t know than those you have known since childhood. Thankfully those days are long gone.
