I have failed to report on two more weekend excursions in the past month: Galicia and La Mancha
Galicia
- Santiago de Compostela--home of the tomb of St. James and end of a major pilgrimage
- Very Oregon weather--rain!
- Lots of time to kill
- killed by attending mass and befriending old bartender/cafetender
- Magical place with arcaded streets
- 21st birthday with Melissa (thats my present--the uniform)
- Good Spanish friend invited me home for the weekend with her boyfriend and family
- Campo de Criptana--the place where Don Quixote fought his 'giants'
- Wonderful village life--everyone knows everyone and spend weekend outside pubs chatting
- Dinner with band friends included pigs ears and two different versions of 'Spar Spangled Banner'
- Great local food cooked by mom, generally nice having a mom again
- Trip through countryside includes visit to uncles sheep farm
So there you have in bullet points. And here are the more complete pictures on fb:

You´re doing a lot better than me...I´m still trying to post stuff from Morocco since my computer is stubborn with uploading pictures.
