Day 73
Madrid
May 13 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F
We are in Madrid, ready to fly to the US tomorrow, so this is our last posting. We loved the Sierra de las Nieves and its villages and are heading home full of appreciation for all the people who helped us out in various ways.

We took the train to get to the Malaga airport this morning. It turned out to be a good choice because, although the elevator wasn’t running at 8:30 AM, it was an easy walk to get to the train station. (And I didn’t have to face riding up in that exposed elevator tower.)

Here in Madrid, we have a nice little apartment for the night right across from a park in the casco histórico of Barajas. We will be able to cook supper tonight and breakfast tomorrow before we leave, and we are going home with clean clothes thanks to the washing machine here. The flight we are taking tomorrow left 6.5 hours late today; let’s hope it does better tomorrow. It flies directly over Santiago de Compostela and we have window seats on the side with that view.

Many thanks to those of you who have been on this journey with us.Read more

Thunderstorm on top of the Madrid airport ⛈️ Some serious microbursts. Should be a fun takeoff. Back to my Navy flying days. BTW, I once took off in Pensacola, Florida, with two visible tornadoes. Safer to be in the air. :)

As a note, it rained when I flew into Spain. Then twelve cool but beautiful days. Last day - thunderstorm. Timed it perfect! The gods love The Drake. Just saying...

Sorry, to all the pilgrims walking in the rain. Stay safe!

Bonus! Open seat next to me. Time for a bourbon & coke 😋Read more

Train ride into Madrid was uneventful. The hotel room was small, but after all the bunks and snoring, it was luxurious.
Ate at my favorite calamari restaurant - Restaurant 3B in San Blas-Canillejas, Madrid. Way too much food, but it was as delicious as two years ago.Read more
TravelerYou finally got your calamari!!!

Buenos Dias Amigos y Amigas!
Not going to lie... I'm a little overwhelmed at the moment! 😬
After navigating the airport and bus system there, I was taken to the train station! 😂
I am currently on my first ever train ride, heading to Pamplona, Spain. I feel like a lost child in a HUGE candy store!! Again...a lil overwhelmed, but so darn happy, excited, and proud of myself for following my dream! From Pamplona, I will take a bus to Bayonne, France... arriving there at 1:30 am, to spend a couple of days with friends, rest up, and then I will begin the pilgrimage from St. Jean Pied de Port, France, this coming Saturday, April 5th! 🥾🚶‍♀️‍➡️🥾
Thank you to all of you for following and all the messages. You have no idea how much they mean to me! I love you and am thankful for each of you being a part of watching my dream come true. Grab some popcorn, sit back, and get ready for what I know is going to be an EPIC trip across Spain! 💜Read more
TravelerButterflies in my tummy for you. Soak it all in!!

TravelerThank you...I am a BIG, BIG sponge today with all that I've needed to soak in! 🤣My butterflies are all gone... replaced by pure faith and joy for my adventure! It's been a day, and I'm a bit tired, but I am loving every challenge of the day! Love you, my friend! 💜

Montevideo ist ein sehr familiärer Flughafen, nett und überschaubar. Wir boarden pünktlich und erfahren gleich, dass der Flug ✈️ mehr als eine Stunde früher in Madrid landen 🛬 wird. Da müssen wir etwas schneller schlafen 😴.

In Madrid landen wir um 03:50 Uhr 🕰️ … weiter geht’s um 07:05 Uhr 🕰️. Wir vertreiben uns die Wartezeit in der Lounge.

Weiter geht es nach München. Wir freuen uns, dass wir abgeholt werden. Dann freuen wir uns über ein zünftiges Weißwurstfrühstück.Read more
