C&K's Excellent Spain Adventure: Day 10 - Avila & Segovia
http://espanya2008.blogspot.com/2008/12/day-10-avila-segovia.html
Monday, December 1, 2008. Day 10 - Avila and Segovia. We took the all-day tour to Avila and Segovia today, leaving our hotel at 9:15am this morning. There were only 8 people in our tour group, so it was a nice small group, which seemed like a United Nations convoy, as we represented the U.S., Mexico, Brazil, Singapore, and our guide was originally from Argentina. The first thing our guide, Sofia, said was I hope you dressed warmly because where we're going, it's snowing. Yes, SNOW, NIEVE! And of course, ...

C&K's Excellent Spain Adventure: Day 12 - Hasta Luego
http://espanya2008.blogspot.com/2008/12/day-12-hasta-luego.html
Wednesday, December 3, 2008. Day 12 - Hasta Luego. It's the last day of our trip in Spain and it's been a great one. K smartly made our flight a late one - 4pm, which meant we could take our time getting up and making our way to the airport. The newer additions on Barrajas airport (terminal 4) are very interesting - very Gaudi-like. We met up with the guy we met flying over to Spain, the one with the $75 bottle of Scotch that got trashed. He was returning on the same flight. C&Ks Excellent Spain Adventure.

C&K's Excellent Spain Adventure: Day 11 - Shopping and Being Lazy
http://espanya2008.blogspot.com/2008/12/day-11-shopping-and-being-lazy.html
Tuesday, December 2, 2008. Day 11 - Shopping and Being Lazy. Since the only plans today were to eat lunch, go shopping and eat dinner, we didn't head out until about 1. I tried to get a picture capturing a scene we've seen here all week, but it didn't quite turn out. We couldn't figure why the people were lined up around blocks for a freakin' lottery ticket. It seems it's not just any lottery, but the world famous Spanish El Gordo lottery. Time for siesta and more shopping later. Tomorrow, we're flying b...
