ok, so i am not done blogging, but i wanted to save before my internet cafe time card ran out........we are so spoiled at home to be able to use the net in an open-ended manner.....this buying of pay-as-you-go time is frustrating.....we are quite ready to go home.......we have each packed..and though we do not relish the thought of a 9 hour plane flight we are anxious to get on with the non-spain portion of our lives........we have enjoyed spain, but there is no place like home.......i am anxious to work on recovering the chair in the front room, repapering the upstairs bath...and maybe work on some window treatments......i am not anxious to get back to work...but who is after a long trip.....? i am sad that i will only get to see acw for a few hours on sat night/sun morning before he goes back to school.....i really wish he had gone on this trip.....i have seen quite a few backpackers, and i envision acw on a similar trip at some point...as for the rest of my traveling crew, i can see each making many more trips, both short and extended, to the continent......i am certain that i, too, will return......maybe with the rest of the c-w's on a family trip to ireland......

that´s it for spain....adios......looking foward to my family picking us up at the airport on saturday.......
