Tomorrow we are off on the next step of our journey. We check out at noon, and hang about til we taxi to the bus station and we’re off to Salamanca. We are enrolled in Spanish language school in Salamanca for the next two weeks starting Monday.

We’ve heard that our homestay is a couple with a 10 year old son. We’re hoping that they are willing to help us use more of our vocabulary. We’re not thrilled with our conversational skills as yet. Although we can sure get around in a cafe, bar or restaurant!!

We’ve enjoyed our week in Madrid, although it was mostly spent resting and recovering from colds. Last week in Morocco, our daughter-in-law had a terrible head cold and flu of some type. We’re not sure it’s what we have, but Monday night when we arrived from Morocco, hubby had a fever. Fortunately mine remained a head cold; but hubby’s really had it worse, and been really tired. But we have enough Spanish to get medicine at a pharmacy! 🙂 yeah…

But we knew we’d need a break, and the week was planned well. We finally got to do some art museums here in Madrid, but mostly walked about the lovely parks and rested as much as possible (okay, and ate some chocolate con churros:).

We are off tomorrow to Salamanca. I haven’t been able to use my own computer so I have no Madrid photos to put up (internet in our hotel is very pricey per computer). With any luck, I’ll be able to access wifi at the school and catch you all up with some photos.

We took a tour trip yesterday to Toledo: beautiful city. We really didn’t get to see much, of course, being restricted to what the tour had planned; but it was enough of a taste to appreciate being able to see another little piece of Spain.

Catch up with everyone in a day or two!
