The measurement site

Today, I want to tell you a little bit about the place we're measuring. And where we live right now.

Our measurement site is located at the southern coast of Spain, close to a town called Huelva, and approximately 90 kilometers west from Seville. We're located on some kind of military base in a little forrest of what we call "broccoli trees". Infact, I think they are some kind of pine trees, but if you see them from above, they really look like broccolli.

The measurement site is directly besides a camping ground where we have rented some barracks. Some of them are quite big, but mine doesn't even have a kitchen, so I don't get my morning tea!!!



Close to the camping ground, there's the ocean and a big sandy beach. And just in the middle of it, you can see the remains of an old watch tower. Unfortunately, it's much too cold, else I would try to go swimming there, at least once.



Actually, I just found out I'm not living alone at my booth, although it's just a single room. I saw a cockroach today, and you know, if you've seen one, you can be sure there are hundred more around. So I'll stop writing and start a little hunting session ....
