Spain - Post #1

After 12 days in Spain, there was no rain.

Well, maybe 20 drops in Madrid on April 4th and 5th, but nothing but sun and temperatures from 14-25 C.
It will be impossible to tell you, dear reader, about the culture, the cities, the people, the countryside, the food and the history.
Instead, this shall be a link to another blog of mine that will show the trip in photos.

Suffice to say, Saint and I have walked more in the last 12 days then we have ever walked before in a month. We have drank wine and beer and cider and more wine and more beer and more cider. We have eaten at upscale restaurants and at streetside pubs, driven a car in the south, taken a train in the middle, taken a funicular, a bus, metros in two cites. We have seen more churches than in all of Ottawa, reveled in the cobblestone streets, the people, the sheer volume of tourists and travelers and their predilections, been awed by castles and statues and a big rock called Gibraltar.

We leave in the morning.

We will be glad to get back, only for the fact that we won't have to walk 20km in one day.

We can then plan to bring other here, in order for them to see this magnificent country.
