Janice, I loved reading your journal so big thanks from me (and David, too) for all your late nights and attention to detail. For some mysterious reason, I saw zero typos. How do you do that? You have a wonderful balance of weaving a story as you describe where you went and what you experienced. You have a special talent is all I can say. As for the physical side, you both performed admirably… no slouching on this tour! Well, except for Barry almost landing in the Canal due Midi 😁. We are flying to Madrid in May and are ready to be captivated by Andalucia for its terrain and exotic cultural aspects. I located a hotel that’s going to hold our samsonites for 5 weeks and did a happy dance when I received the news today. Enjoy Tucson.

11 months agoIt was very hard. I landed on One Shot Prado. They required a non-refundable booking, the only one I did for the trip. It's a nice hotel in a great location. No breakfast at the hotel but you're not far from a panaderia.
11 months agoJanice, was it hard to find a hotel that would store your bike cases in Madrid? I am not having much luck.
11 months agoI often wonder what food was like in Europe and Asia before foods from the Americas were added to the options.

11 months agoI thought I remembered it, and I did see it. My photo is from a slightly different angle.
11 months agoI was surprised how nice the bike facilities were outside the historic center, especially on the west side of the river.
11 months agoI read that it has more than 15,000 species of plants. I wonder how long they last into the winter. They sure looked healthy when we were there.
11 months agoThe whole park was great for biking. We were so happy to get one more good ride in before we had to leave.
11 months agoWe should go back! We were here 25 years ago and I’ve never been tempted to return because it was so difficult to escape on a bike.
11 months agoFantastic. It makes me think of Bilbao’s Puppy.
