homeward bound

A long journey northward saw us out of Africa and back to Madrid. It seemed as though we would never get there and it showed in our faces. We opted for the fastest boat we could get and even though it only took 40 minutes it seemed like an eternity.





We spent a leisurely day shopping in Madrid just outside of our hotel.



And we finally cracked the mystery of the clementines... Order them up from the produce matron and she'll bag them, weigh them, and tag them for the register. But you still can't touch.



We are happy to be home and have time to reflect on our trip and the things we had seen. After a full 20 hours of trains planes and automobiles we finally arrived at our beautiful door step. Thank you for taking the time follow along on our journey and for your comments. It was indeed wonderful to hear from you and get your perspectives.

And of course, Henri is happy to have his humans back in the pack.

Love the photos there guys, "out of africa", you look like you posed for them or alternately are exhausted and a little brain dead. Anyways great trip and nice to read about your journey. Henry is probably feeing ripped off that he did not get his Clementine. Curious as to whether you brought back a fez for him or some other of the local garb.

One of the best things about a vacation is coming home. You created some great memories to last a life time.

I'll never look at clementines the same or pick up fruit without waiting for someone to scold me ;-). Henri looks great in his stripes...Happy you're home I bet. Get some rest
Bye for now
