Post Script

It was a great holiday. A week with our very good friends and an abundance of laughs. We got a lot of exercise and enjoyed very good food and drink. The scenery was outstanding. The weather was perfect every day.

Spain, like much of Europe takes hiking seriously. Well kept and well marked trail are everywhere. 

Things move more slowly here and that is a good thing. Sitting at a restaurant at home is in and out fast. Folks here are patient. They take their time to savor food, drink, company and cigarettes. They are much more stylish. They wear cool shoes (probably because unlike most Americans, they can see their feet when standing up).

Jo and I agreed that LaGuardia was our favorite town; that our castle in LaGuardia was our favorite hotel; and our favorite beach and hike were in San Sebastian. Our greatest laughs were with our good friends.

It was a great trip and it will very nice to be home.
