Hola:
Que tal?
I am very well, thanks for asking...
I left Spain on the 26th of July - went to SYR, NYC, BAL, New Hope, BOS, Warwick, Rochester, MA; Houston for 12 hours; Chicago; Washington. Tried to get to SFO, but did not allow enough time to get back and the red-eye flights filled up, so I did not go. All together was in the US for 6 weeks visiting friends and family - had a very nice time!
Arrived back in Madrid yesterday - the 6th - Flight was 60 minutes early - Maria Jose opened the door, but I did not have a chance to speak with her.
Marcos met me at the terminal and drove me and my 4 maletas al piso. I do like this apartment, although my room is 1/3 the size of my last room. However, it is much quieter here and I have easier access to casa de campo for walks and biking.
The plan is to give this place this month and maybe OCT - if it works for my work day I will stay; if not, I will move back to the center of town.
After getting to the apartment I slept for 4 hours - no sleep on the flight.
showered and went up to Plaza de Espana and met Robbie. we went to where Jose works and had a few canas and tapas - nice time chatting and catching up! It was good to see Jose too.
Robbie and I also walked around the center for a while and then parted company at the metro.
Last night I slept 10.5 hours - guess I was tired. today I unpacked most of my stuff until 16,30h when I went for a walk. Checked out the neighborhood and then into el campo - total time gone was 4 hours - my legs were very tired. Why do I always over-do-it on my first day out?
The weather is excellent and I am settling in nicely - seeing the gang tomorrow night.
more later
