So, a day of r&r finished we are ready for some breakfast and a 9 mile hike through the hills to the end of the earth. In Spain breakfast is a little spare compared to what we are used to in the states.

Well after two miserable days of weather we were ready for some rest. The town of Cee, Spain is an industrial seaside town in northwest Spain. For those of you familiar with SW VA you would be amazed at the similarities in the two areas. Weather, similar; terrain, similar; economic conditions, similar.

So onto the train. Many more pictures from here on as I’m fairly sure folks would rather see pictures rather than listening to my rambling. 🙂 so here goes nothing. The Spanish railway system is very good though travel to NW Spain, due to the mountainous terrain is still below bullet train speeds though itContinue reading “Trains and automobiles pt. 2 (the plane has landed in the plain)”

So, after driving 5 hrs to ATL to save significantly on airfare (thanks deregulation) I relaxed in the terminal F Delta Sky Club the newest and nicest club in the system. The above photo is from the outdoor lounge of the sky club very unique. Flight was very pleasant in my little pod. Food andContinue reading “Planes, trains and automobiles”
