Chicago to London

See Mom, they're roomy!

I have to try hard to remember where I left off. Jet-lag overdrive. We sat on the Tarmac to leave for London for ~2.5 hrs. Picked up Red Velvet Cupcake Murder in Buffalo and I've been blowing thru it w/all the time on the planes. Tried to watch the Lego movie. I'm sorry but the funny just wasn't funny enough for me. I think I was done by Tacko Tues. Or h/e they spelled it. Have to sleep cause that time goes by in a flash. Food wasn't so bad. I think I inhaled dinner by the time we finally got going. Landed in London a couple hours late & we still had to get from Heathrow to Stansted. Took the Underground & took an above ground detour to Nottingham Palace, which I had not seen before. It was pretty fancy today. Processions and music (marching band even played Beatles!). So many people plus the processions held us up a bit so that's all we were able to see. Managed to get to the right metro stop & hop on the Stansted Express w/ enough time to get to our gate. Everyone was already lined up so I just parked it

Airplane Gourmet

The roll was gross

by an outlet. The first flight w/o delays! Reached Madrid then had to take a few metro lines into the city. We checked in & went to find Tapas & Tinto de Verano! We shared a couple montaditos (small sandwiches), then had a brownie w/cream & helado (gelato/ice cream) & a Swiss hot chocolate. Imagine 3 packets of Swiss miss-maybe half the sugar & double the cocoa! Tstorms rolled thru while we wined & dined.
Going to try to add photos. I still don't know if they worked yesterday. Limitations on my phone. Being that it's almost 1am here, I have not the desire to pull out my tablet. I also can see your replies but can't respond on my phone!
I have more photos off my camera as well. Not posting now!
