No. It was not quite alright. I believe there may be some exaggeration happening here

He is really enjoying the tour - and was the one who suggested we come cycling here!

What a happy boy! It is admirable that he really does look happy in every shot. Glad you two are having fun.

Yes - and he rubs it in that he's taller than me!

Nice to be tall!

Well, if things are not chaotic you must be doing it wrong. Have a good rest and wake up ready for the adventures to come in the days ahead.

Those are the assembled bikes, but the chaos of our gear. Slowly sorting things into our bags. We should be able to find any item by tomorrow.

Here's hoping the photo is just a placeholder while you get the bikes assembled?

The towel comment is a reference to South Park which Alex and I watch. We won't actually be bringing towels, but it is a comment we toss out to each other every now and then.

Pookie ALWAYS gets a photo op. He's a tiny stuffed bear that Alex played with when he was a wee lad so I initially brought Pookie along so we could send back photos for him to see wherever we were traveling. With me being the nostalgic type, I have kept up this tradition on every trip, taking photo ops of Pookie from all over, including when Alex is with me on the trip.

I have to ask - why a towel for a hotel trip?

Does Pookie get a photo opp?

Have a great time!

Yes, I shall and she' d have appreciated it.

My sincere condolences on your aunt's passing. I'm sure you will be giving her a toast (or two!), when you find a special wine on this trip.

Thank you so much. Yes, very special.

We are so sorry for your loss. Your aunt sounds like she was a very special lady. May she continue to travel with you, at least in your hearts, for many years to come.

Yes, Mérida to Madrid. I'll peruse your journal, thank you!
