On Sunday, this past week, we took a trip to Madrid for four days of meetings. It was nice to be with co-workers, re-connect with friends from past training, be blessed by worship and music in English (!), and just be out of our city and apartment for a break.
For this meeting we were able to ride with co-workers who have been here for more years then we have and have worked and traveled in Spain. There is just something comforting in being able to go to a new place with someone who already knows how to get around and can navigate and show you some interesting sights. They even brought along a delicious picnic lunch to eat on the way.
We had an afternoon off on Tuesday and went to see some of the sights in Madrid and then on the day we left, we went home to Lisbon by way of Segovia - a really neat town in Spain, known for the best preserved aqueducts left by the Romans on the Iberian Peninsula. There is also a beautiful castle that was used by the kings and queens over the years. I'll put more pictures up later.
