We got back from Spain last night after a VERY long day of travel. We had many hours on the plane and a five hour layover in Miami. We're pretty exhausted today but there's much to be done, so sleeping in is out of the question.
The trip was great. We started in Madrid for a few days to get over jetlag, eat tapas, and do a bit of sightseeing. Then we were off to Segovia to see the ancient Roman acqueduct and try the suckling pig (Adrienne, not me). After that, we went to Salamanca, a beautiful city with a large, very busy Plaza Mayor. After a night in the medevil city of Trujillo, we went to Seville for 4 days. Wow, was it hot there but we had a great visit to Jerez to see the Andalusian horse show and a wonderful night of Flamenco, along with lots of sightseeing and some shopping for good measure. Then we were back to Madrid for our trip home. We all had a great time.
Now we're back to business with the move. The house is being painted and new carpet goes in tomorrow. We actually move in on Friday. Today, we were supposed to get phones, DSL, and satellite TV. I suppose one out of three (phones) isn't too bad. I guess it's all just par for the course and everything will get sorted out in time.
Adrienne is doing very well and was able to keep up during the trip. She still has some hip pain but hopefully this will resolve soon. Her skin was quite irritated and painful from the radiation but it is peeling now and feeling much better. Overall, we're very pleased.

I've posted several times in the past couple of weeks, yet I don't seem them now so I'm not sure blogger is letting me leave comments any more. Good luck with the move. I've been thinking so much about your continuing battle against this beast, and how gracefully you go about it.
Thinking of you . . . hope this post works.
