Semana santa storms and showers

Today I had to pick up all our LDC photocopying: more than 15 thousand pages. They fill five boxes and take up the whole back seat of my car! It was rather a challenge loading up all that paper in the pouring rain, but today was the last day possible, as everything closes down over the coming days for the "semana santa" (holy week) holidays.


The weather forecast says that there will continue to be storms and showers for much of this week. I wonder if that will hinder some of the religious processions that happen here on Thursday and Friday. Even after a few years in Spain, I have to confess that I still find the semana santa celebrations (especially those men in the strange pointy hats) rather disconcerting. I look forward instead to Easter Sunday at church, when we can really celebrate the resurrection of Jesus and rejoice that He is still alive today.
