Our friend Marike termed this trip an anthropological rite of passage, maybe it is,but, it is really about celebrating Sharon's 60th and retirement and Blair sharing Madrid. Also, when we expect to be in Spain in October we can't miss the beginning of the Volvo Ocean race and since we are on the east coast we have to hit Valencia and Barecelona :)
In any case, dear friends and family, we will be in Madrid on Sept 2 and Sharon will get her wish and we will be in the air the day school was supposed to start :( (our sympathies to those still in the teaching profession). I hope you will join us on our Great Adventure through Spain! All for now until Madrid.
