Day one started off by a 45 minute circling of the airport because of heavy fog, followed by the longest taxi to a gate EVER (well, in my life), and a long walk to a long wait at baggage claim. But it was all worth it to see my dear Irene and to have time to wander around Madrid today (though the photo taking was a little on the “weak/i’m going to pass out from exhaustion” side…..so it is off to bed soon for me, as I haven’t slept in 36 hours, and I want to be ready to roll tomorrow!

Hasta!
