Monday morning

This morning I let the girls do all the work. Later, I had a trip to Huelva which was in the end nearly useless.

I woke up this morning around 6:30, but since the girls should learn to take care of MoLa on their own, I turned around and decided to sleep in. Unfortunately, I had to get some spare parts for MoLa in Huelva, so I forced myself to rise around 8:30 am.

When I arrived at the measurement site, all instruments were running, and Sarah-Lena and Jovana didn't have any problems. But Zeinab, another college of mine, was close to getting cabin fever, so when I told her that I would drive to Huelva, she immediately joined me.

When we approached the city of Huelva we could not only smell but also see the exhaust of the petrochemical industry. The air around Huelva was kind of brownish, and it smelled like it did in Germany twenty years ago, when you did live in an industrial town.

I found a shop, and after I had explained two shop assistants what I needed (it took me nearly 15 minutes and a lot of bad drawings, but I managed without a word of spanish ;-) ), they found out they didn't have my spare parts. It seemed to not only suprise me but also them! The same thing in a second shop - I was kind of frustrated. Zeinab, on the other hand, really enjoyed shopping.

But it just wasn't my day. Also my second task, to find a McDonalds or Burger King, failed. And I was so eagerly hoping for some freedom fries and a Burger!

So we went home, Zeinab relaxed and happy, me a little bit frustrated. Now I get the spare parts from Germany, delivered by FedEx. We will see how they perform this time! ;-)
