España

We are still in Spain and loving the fact that we can spend time with Dori and Nerea, our extremely helpful and caring friends. WE are planning our next venture into Morocco, which seems like it will be amazing. Everyone that has been there has said it is great. We are looking into cheap flights, which tend to be cheaper than buses if you look ahead, many times fifty to seventy-five percent less. Although taking a bus allows you to see the country from the road, the savings are too much to pass up....who came up with the idea of a budget anyway. Tomorrow we are going to go to El Rastro, a giant outdoor market in Spain and then to eat with Doris father. G has been a little sick, well she has had bronchitis for about 4 weeks (she has been an incredible trooper and has pressed on without losing a beat) which we think is a result of sleeping in dorms with 15 other people and cold, wet weather. But, as fate would have it, one of Nereas roommates is her from Mexico to study transplants and happened to be a pulmonary specialist...excellent. He was able to do the examine, write the prescription and get the medicine for under 3 euros...a really good deal and an incredible break. We have met some really cool people here in Madrid and cannot express our extreme gratitude to Narea and Dori for their loving friendship while we are here. They are great. Well, we should be cruising along shortly and will return to Spain to try and spend a weekend in the mountains with Nerea and her family and friends. Just a quick update...all is well...only two more months to go....so much to see.
