Madrid to Chicago

Janet, Marilyn and I arrived in Madrid between 10:20  -10.30.  Took awhile to get off the plane.

Left Janet to fend for herself (sorry) - she had 2 hours to find her gate.  Mare and I zoomed.  The first signs we saw said 25 minutes to U gates - that would be us at U64, the farthest.

We raced walked to our departure gate via train, elevators, escalators, moving sidewalks; got to our gate to hear the "last call to board".  The plane left the gate at 11:50.

No time to spend our remaining euros - we ran through the duty free shop to get to our gate.  It's a sign - we have to come back to spend the euros.

The plane - 1st lunch

Ensalada mixta - mixed greens, carrots, tuna, cucumber - very nice presentation

Meatballs and potatoes, was Mare's, however, she saw my pasta and switched. 

Pasta - very nice tortellini with vegetables 

Torta del aero plane - cake with cocoa puffs on top, not kidding

Bread, and a bottle of red for me and a bottle of white wine for Mare.

Buenos!

Now only 6 more hours till Chicago.  We wait for elevenzies! That's  Chicago time.

Marilyn just said I need to go back and forth on the camino till I get straighten out - ouch!  Too many other places to go.

Elevenzies - Bocadilla Pan Trenzado de York, yogurt, Kitkat  bar and a muffin.  We both had a bottle of vino blanco with the meal.  



Mare's box lunch and vino blanco

Grocery store sometime tomorrow - lots of organic fruits and veggies going in the cart, no bread. 

Making a batch of steel cut oats with apricots tonight so we can have oats and walnuts for breakfast.

Back on the organic wagon

This was quite the trip. Met some good people, stayed in some good places, and had some good food.  Left out the not so good stuff!

A 51 day adventure.
