We have travelled from Ssantiago to Madrid, then to Sevilla and Granada - all in quick succession. And now we are inn Barcelona having a 2 day break. We are feeling a little bit over the tourist-thing (sightseeing and standing in queues and battling crowds of people to see things or purchase something), but on the whole we are still getting on well together and navigating around pretty well.
Whenever things get a little tense, Rick acts the fool which keeps the kids spirits up.
We saw plenty of art in Madrid - loved the Prada! The modern art at Reina Sophia was a little too much for Mads and Gabe, but we did get them there which was an achievement in itself!
We enjoyed the Alcazar in Sevilla and attended a flamenco performance there also, which we loved.
Saw the Alhambra in Granada which was a long hot process. Perhaps because we were so tired we didn´t appreciate it as much as it deserved.
We are now experts at travelling on overnight trains. We were tucked into bed before the train left the station on the trip from Granada to Barcelona.
Emma - I saw your note in the St Peters newsletter. I hope all is going well for you and Sean and Paul. I think of you often. I really think we have a better form of Church in NZ than here in Europe - despite the history!

I bet it was hot down Granada way! Hope you enjoy all the sights you still have to see: you should be fit for all the city walking that will involve! Looking forward to seeing all your photos etc when you get back. Lots of love from this heathen.
