Daily Drena: Has it been three months already? Or does it feel like forever?
Today is a travel day, going from the metro to the high speed train to Cuenca, which is a fantastic town close to Madrid. It’s a 5 hour ride, but it goes quickly and we’re able to catch up (mainly on this blog).
The seats are nice and spacious with a foot rest, they have outlets, and a little trash can connects to the front of the seats. Airlines could learn a thing or two from the train. The train dumps us off outside of town, (not the station we originally thought that is close to our hotel), and we go outside to see one bus with a few people waiting by it. We assume that it will take us where we need to go, and our assumptions are luckily correct.
From the bus stop we can walk to our hotel and catch a late dinner (ok, not really late for Spain) right down the street. But first, a quick high speed internet fix!!
Our night ends on an even higher note, because we are walking home, commenting about how we wish we had some ice cream, but it’s 11:28 at night and the chances are slim. We look down the street, happen to see an ice cream sign, and see that lights are still on, so we make a run for it. We arrive just in the nick of time to get a couple scoops before they close and run all the way back to the hotel with it, including 5 flights up to our room, with a few licks along the way, of course!

- Come on, Coca-Cola. Where are the veggies or fruit? Ugh. But those Pringles are quite tasty…
