OUT OF SPAIN INTO PORTUGAL

Madrid
Day 32

After our day yesterday of contrasts - the contrast of mankind´s passions. From the beauty in the artists we´ve gotten to know to the raw reality of the Bullfight and the homeless we are preparing now to go to the north of Spain and Portugal.

Madrid has been an city of intense passions and of long traditions. By travelling the way we are, we´ve seen a side of the life here that we wouldnt´see on tours.

We´ve walked the streets, experienced public transport and the local shops and restaurantes as well as ventured into some of the smaller villages and mingled with the non english speaking spanish natives and tried to communicate the best we can.

In such a short time we´ve experienced so much. A lot that can not be written in here due to time contraints but will remain with us as we continue along our journey.

We´re off to the north of spain now. We´ve checked out of the ¨Riosal¨and are heading for Santiago De Compostela then to Portugal. Unfortunately we´ll miss seeing my art teacher friend who is working in Portugal...such bad timing!!!

But we´re excited. We´re on the move again and don´t know where we´ll stay, or where we´ll go. We´re loving travelling this way. And the more we are together, the more we learn about ourselves and each other. I feel moved. We´re moving as one. As i´ve never done before. I feel very blessed to have such a special time as this time right now. Living for the now.

We haven´t started our Eurail pass yet but will when we get to Seville.

We´ll write from there!!

Love to all!
