Our last dinner in Spain was great. In advance we had selected what we wanted as a first course. Chuck and I had chosen a fish soup. It was a tasty broth filled with all kinds of seafood: shrimp, scallops, crab, mussels, fish, etc. The soup was the most delicious dish we had had on the entire trip. For the main course, Chuck, Christine, and Jerry had lamb shanks. John had salmon. Beth and I had suckling pig. The pig was good with a crackling skin. Had their version of baked Alaska for dessert. We were serenaded by three guitar players who were great entertainers. Also sold us their CD.
By 8:00am, we were on the bus to the airport. The Madrid airport is HUGE. After we went through security, there was a digital sign that said that it was 23 minutes to our gate. We took three sets of escalators down, rode a subway to the next terminal, took three sets of escalators up, took moving sidewalks and it still took us 23 minutes. Whew!
Our flight home was punctuated with two hours of very turbulent flying. But we made it safely and that is what is important.
On Friday, Chuck and I went to Madison to see Caitlin. She was making a very speedy recovery. What a blessing!
