You can try to tell people about sitting in silence looking up in the Sistine chapel but, words just can't do it. Especially since you can't take any pics. Something if your lucky enough to see it, you never forget. Hope there are no fights
on your plane coming home? Ha. See ya soon...

We are so glad that you've been able to take this trip. Sorry about the 0 dark thirty wake up time in Salem, the crowded flights, the regimented English, the lack of sleep, dirty traveling areas, more transportation, etc.etc. On the other
hand, you are in Spain and eating Tapas and drinking the local color. How fine is that? And Sharon loose her temper, never...

Sounds like you two are enjoying every last ounce of culture, sites, bites, and fun! Do olive trees like those grow in the pac NW?! Love that no matter where you go the smallest nuances remind you of home- your schnauzers are probably cover
ed head to toe in schnauzer farm goodness, might be a struggle getting them home on Friday, they are probably having just as much fun as you two are.Are you two meeting other travelers along your adventures? Keep safe but don't get too close to other travelers ;).
