Definitely a feast for the archives! And a teaser to boot - looking forward to what happened next.

Wonderful countryside - the day was a cloudy mist when I rode through here last spring so I appreciate a chance to see it under clearer skies

Waiting. Nowadays the expedited version is 5-6 weeks. I did pay for overnight return, once it's processed. Surely the third time is the charm? Fall back position from here is to go to the passport center - thank you for telling me about it. Too bad the passport center is only available as a last ditch situation. I would far rather have gone there and walked out with a correctly spelled passport in my hand!

I’ve been thinking of you and your passport, but afraid to ask. Any progress?

I"m looking at all of the stairs you haul your bikes up and down (not just today), and thinking about my bike!

I have been adding in more climbing, trying to get ready. We have six weeks and five days until we leave. Not that I'm counting. The passport is still the wild card. A very important one.

Well, it worked out wonderfully up to a point. Notice that the post doesn’t cover the whole day. More to come.

I've been worried about going hungry in Spain. It's a wonder you could get off of your chairs after this meal! The day worked out wonderfully for you.

Just Don't get confused and stare at this one, could get ugly!

How worn those stairs are ….

As happens nearly every day.

Hey, this wasn’t one of the challenge shots buster. No credit. Negative credit, actually.

Yup. Love the one you’re with, Stephen Stills told us years ago.

Love how you guys explore where you are!

We love kitty pictures!

Cool!
