We made it to Spain today. the flight was good and we had no trouble with the metro system. Once off the train we were assisted to the hotel by a nice Spanish woman. She spoke Spanish and we listened, then tried to find our way using her hand signs, mostly. A few minutes later she saw us again, floundering and she walked us most of the way to the hotel. A Blessing. Later in the day we tried to stay awake by walking and at one point I was looking in a store window when a Spanish man who seemed less that all put together began to make gutteral sounds around me. then he shoved me. Jess and I decided to walk around the block and avoid further trouble. sometimes walking away is the best solution to a problem.
Spain is lovely at this time of year. the trees are fully leafed out and flowers line the streets. It rained on and off today but only once did it mean we had to take cover. We are in the old part of town and all of the buildings are very old with much history. If today is a sign of what is to come, we should have a very blessed Camino. Tomorrow we travel by bus to our starting point and the next day we begin to walk.
blessings from Spain.
