December 15th – Our Trip back to Madrid



Our trip back to Madrid today was entirely different than our trip out, the biggest difference being that there was no fog.  We were able to see the country in mostly sunny conditions and it’s much clearer as to why the Spanish were pretty comfortable in our Southwest.   Parts of the trip could have come right out of the Arkansas river valley while other parts could have been around Santa Fe and parts could have been in the mountains of Colorado, Wyoming, or Montana.    I’m not saying that the vegetation is the same, but when you look at the larger panorama it has the same feeling.    Interestingly as we were coming back on Saturday I was surprised at how many people were travelling our direction.   Our stop in Burgos literally filled the car, however quite a large number got off in Valladolid so it wasn’t as crowded for the trip into Madrid.  

We’re down to about 2 weeks before we have to leave so now we have to look at the things we still want to do and prioritize.  It will fly by now, but we also remember that so many people come to Europe and only have two weeks so there will be no whining on our part, just happiness at our good luck.
