Arrival

We had a four-hour layover in Philadelphia which we spent lounging in the rocking chairs and surfing the web. One would think four hours would be enough time to get to your gate, but at 5:42pm we realized our flight had already boarded and would be leaving for Spain shortly at 6pm. After racing across the airport pell-mell, we arrived at the gate panting and sweating and they let us board the flight despite our tardiness.

Madrid: Arrived at 8am and NO ONE was awake in the city. The streets were empty. At 10am, things still seemed a little slow. Later we went to the Prado for a dose of El Greco, Goya, Tintoretto and all the Old Masters. Today: Reina Sofia and flamenco?

We missed you at the grad party. Bern nearly started crying when she opened up the new laptop. Nice work!
