Well, it’s Wednesday anyway, and since I left on Tuesday I guess that makes it “day 2” – but I haven’t yet gone to sleep since arising at 6:30 a.m. uh, yesterday…  My brain (in Spain!) is crying for rest!!!   I did get to see the sun come up though! And after all of those hours, I am now nestled into my cute little hotel on

a historic square in Madrid! I just went for a walk around the block and there was a mariachi band playing and a saxophone player seranading and some jugglers and a lot of people  walking around and eating at the countless little restaurants!   Feels like a holiday, there are so many compadres out enjoying the evening!  Oh, and my Sweetheart snuck an encouraging sentiment filled card into my backpack!!  Buenes Noches!
