It wasn&#8217;t to be. The ok forecast of yesterday deteriorated and then it clouded over mid-morning. The 11.30am update confirmed that it would be cold, cloudy and generally a bit pants. We still needed to get away from our screens for a few hours though, and it wasn&#8217;t nice walking or cycling weather, so we went for lunch. It&#8217;s the main meal of the day here and nearly every restaurant serves a &#8216;menu del dia&#8217; or menu of the day, which usually consists of three or four courses, wine and water, and costs between 9 &#8211; 18 euros. We dined royally at the Cafe Europa in the Plaza Mayor in Olot for 10 euros each and then went home for a siesta. It&#8217;s good to fit in with the locals once in a while. <\/p>\n<p>When I woke up we had an extra 13 delegates, so we&#8217;re now 452 participants in total. This is going to be the biggest conference we have ever run. And the other good news is that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.masella.com\/?idioma=ING\" target=_blank> Masella<\/a>, where we have our season tickets, has decided to be the first ski resort in the Pyrenees to open. The big season opening party is tomorrow. I think we&#8217;ll give it a miss though&#8230; with only a few kilometers open, it hardly seems worth the drive. Still, roll on December and hopefully when we get back from Lanzarote, we can dust off the skis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fewer live sessions at the conference today, so we were hopeful that we could sneak out for a flight this afternoon.
