Hola!

We are back from Spain and what a trip it has been. For the most part, it lived up to all that I imagined and then some. In fact, the trip went very smoothly, until we got back to the US. Our bags are still in the gallows of Philadelphia Intl. Airport's Customs. A personal note of thanks to Tom Ridge for that one. Thankfully I packed my moisturizer in my carry-on or I would be really PO'd!

The weather was wonderful, with a couple of days of rain, and a few chilly days in Madrid. That is why we decided to head south for Andalucia and Costa del Sol. That, and the fact that a few Basques were setting off bombs in some of the northern Spanish towns. Thought best to avoid that region, you know.

December is a great time to go; it

Odd.... Nowhere did you mention renting a Lotus Elise and scaring the bejeezus out of Huskerhubby on those twisty roads!

Looks like you had a great time.

Looks like you had a great time!

1. Don't worry about soccer. I have been here 7 years and still dont get the NFL.
2. You could have always taken me as a translator, all you had to do was ask! (and pay for the tickets.. :-))

That picture of Bryan (aka Huskerhubby - could'nt resist) is awesome. That white cotton t-shirt is perfect. Nicely representing the Dragon and S2000's to the people of Spain!
