Wednesday Ws : Early December Edition

Where have I been: Out and about, lost, and found. As I edit this I am in Malaga, Spain.  We flew to Madrid last Friday night.  

Why? I needed to get away from the office, I needed to use up some well earned paid time off.  I have been planning this for months. 

What have I been up to:  Relaxing, walking, museums, sightseeing, afternoon naps, long sleepy nights, long train rides, some nice some not.    

Who have I seen:  At the time this was written, my sweet bear, and lots and lots of Spanish people.  The plan is to see Mitchell and SG on Friday. 

What have I been eating:   The joys of Spanish food.  Roast chicken, several seafood items, and sweets - the Spanish are pastry masters.    

Who deserves an atta boy? The waiter at lunch on Sunday who somehow managed to understand my blending of French and Italian and not a word of Spanish or English.  

What am I looking forward to:  Exploring Malaga, maybe a day trip, seeing Mitchell and meeting SG.  

Why am I doing this:   I needed an adventure. 

What is my impression? The people are warm and inviting and seem happy.  The Madrid had a warm color to it that surprised me.  I expected grey stone, what I found was soft warm pastels. Lots of winding one way side streets.  I could easily feel at home there. We just arrived in Malaga, it feels tropical, smells like the sea, we will get out and explore shortly.  

Hmm? I don't normally post about traveling, while I am doing it.  Before I left home I composed and scheduled two weeks worth of posts to give myself a break from posting.  I find I need the connection with my network, and free WiFi makes this easy (my phone is still on airplane mode.)
