    Turre: Our poles are home!

    April 10, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 81 °F

    This morning we woke up to a very pleasant surprise. Our hiking poles that British Air failed to deliver have now completed their own month-long mini-vacation and are back on Shaw! Thanks to the Apple AirTag we put inside the mailing tube, we know they spent 5 days in Madrid and then 25 days back at SeaTac. No matter how many phone calls we made to British Air or how many lost baggage forms we filled out online, we were never able to convince a human being to return the poles to Shaw. So here’s a big thank you to Adam’s Shipping in Seattle who made the final connection! Our poles are now all set for their next adventure.

    More tomorrow on the turn our own adventures have taken. We are in the small village of Turre tonight, having completed the “Ruta del Argar desde Almería a Lorca.” Our apartment is right across from the Guardia Civil headquarters, so I bet this is a really safe area!
