It's getting cold

When I woke up this morning, I shivered - it was really cold. This night, temperature dropped below 5°C.

But while in the morning sky was still a little bit cloudy, by early noon it had cleared up, and when we got our official tour through the base and institution.

Most of the stuff they're doing here is SOOOO secret I can't tell you about it. ;-)
But part of it has to do with testing unmanned miniature aircrafts and other self guided flying objects.

Another typ of measurements our spanish hosts do (or did) is sending rockets with scientific instrumentation up into the atmosphere to measure as high as 40 km. Unfortunately, they had to stop because of funding problems.

Besides, they have a station performing aerosol measurements all over the year - that's the type of stuff I'm dealing with - small particles, floating around and beeing inhaled by us all the time.

After all this scientific stuff, we were so hungry that we tried to by stuff in a supermercado. What we didn't know - they do a siesta here from 2 pm to 5 pm. We had to go home and to come back later in the evening ... even more hungry!
