Jerry Arnold and I met in Madrid, Spain late this afternoon. My flight from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam was delayed so I missed connection Amsterdam to Madrid. This put us in the rental car four hours later than expected.
The delay hurt us because we had a 5-hour drive to the Northern region of Asturias. In foreign countries you do all you can to avoid driving in the dark. We’d had probably beat darkness but the gloomy skies gave way to heavy rain. That slowed us. Then, despite a GPS system, the numerous roundabouts finally tricked us and we got lost several times. The normally 5-hour drive stretched to about 8. We checked into the Hotel Maria Manuela at midnight.
I’ll explain the reason Jerry and I are here tomorrow. Exhaustion and jet lag ends this blog now.
