Hi Scott & Rachael! Glad you've made it back intact if a somewhat unpleasant experience getting there. Sad not to be reading another entry for Spain. Another wonderful journal, thank you! Your 2 months seemed to fly, so you can imagine our dissatisfaction at a mere month ... a wonderful month though and like you, no need for the waterproof and warm gear. Itching to get back there and Spain definitely on the radar for next year as well as a longer tour. At least summer is on it's way here .. sort of. Sorry you haven't much to look forward to right now, least of all the surgery. Wishing you all the very best for it and please keep your fan base posted with updates. Once you're through that, and I'm sure successfully, you'll have the next tour to really look forward to!

Yes. We were complicit. It was a joint decision, because the entrance on the side street away from the building address. We picked the wrong cross street.

Thanks! See you in early December?

Glad you made it intact! Did you give your driver a tip? He didn’t deserve it if you did. A good driver would wait until you open the door to your accommodation- especially for old people. Maybe you didn’t look your age.

Welcome home. Sorta home.

And all your luggage arrived with you! That's a win in my books.

Condors is on our no fly ever again unless it can't possibly be avoided list. Sounds like your journey home was eventful and none too pleasant, but at least you are there, relatively intact, and after some rest you will hopefully regain your usual sangfroid.

I think Teddy Roosevelt said something like- Nothing worthwhile is ever easy-

Good trip!

Wow - that was a mission. Good that you made it back, though. Your trip was great and really popped up some new places in Spain that weren't on my radar. Thanks for your adventurous spirits and congratulations on another successful voyage. Looking forward to the next one!

Happy to be checking in here on a meet-up day!

Andersons and Branhams!

What a way to wrap up the tour.

I love seeing these connections in the cycle touring community and am so glad we'll be seeing you two in the near future.

¡Hasta pronto!

If only all humans could visit the joyful state of Scooter Girl at least 3 times every day!

I think the guy in the ball cap must have shown Blue Shirt Guy (BSG) something on his phone that BSG was wanting to un-see.

That was so lucky, this and the following photo on the scooter. Whee!

Great timing with that little one just about to slide off the edge!

Sean Connery?
