    Last full day in Europe

    2025年4月22日, スペイン ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F

    Today, we got up, ate breakfast, and made our way into the Madrid downtown heart. We hit a lucky streak, and today we had a free entrance to the Botanical gardens, and part of our bus ride home was also free (not sure why)

    The gardens had some spring flowers, and you could see the workers planning for the next season, too. Afterward we went for cake and sparkling water at a nearby cafe. The weather was very nearly perfect with partly sunny skies all day.

    We are checked in for the flight tomorrow. We leave here at 11:15 am. and hope to be in Kansas City tomorrow night by around during 9 pm. I will make a final post to let everyone know we made it back ok.    もっと詳しく

    Back in the US

    2025年4月24日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 61 °F

    I'll end here for this trip. Our flight back to the US and Kansas City went very smoothly. Our flights were on time.

    My brother, John, kindly picked us up from the airport in a terrible thunderstorm. We spent the night at their house and will finish some errands here in Kansas City today. We hope to be back in Gainesville tonight. Thanks for following along on this year's trip!もっと詳しく

    Daytrip to Lugo

    3月7日, スペイン ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F

    It's Saturday, and Phil and I got up and caught the first bus to Lugo. Lugo is on one of the Camino routes (Camino Primativo) and has a rich history. Its about a 2 hour ride going through many quaint farming towns.

    Lugo's documented history begins with Roman occupation. A Roman home with a temple to one of the God's was uncovered when excavating for a University building. We toured the site and got a Senior discount on our tickets. We also toured the Lugo museum which was free.

    At the Lugo Museum, they were having a really fun activity. Children with the local Children's Theatre were sitting in chairs all around the exhibit. Each was portraying a different person from history, such as writers, singers, princesses, etc. Each had a chair for you to sit and listen to a little presentation about their lives. I wish I spoke Gallego or even Spanish better as I would have loved to listen in on several of them.

    We had a nice lunch of roasted chicken (me) and roasted lamb (Phil) and then walked it off. The old town has a preserved Roman wall that is a Unesco World Heritage site that you can walk on top of around the whole old town. There are 77 towers preserved and it is about a mile and a half around.

    We're having a coffee now and waiting for our bus that leaves at 6:15. Tomorrow is a laundry and study day. Monday and Tuesday afternoons we have school activities again in the afternoon so we're keeping busy. Not sure where we will go next weekend.    もっと詳しく
