First Day on the Road

enter image description here

Achtung, bitte. Hello from Frankfurt airport in Germany. We are passing through here on our way to Madrid, so this is a preseason post to kick things off and make sure my custom blogging systems are working OK.

The plan is to spend a few days seeing Madrid with a day trip to the ancient town of Toledo. Then we'll catch a very fast train called the Alta Velocidad Española (AVE) south to Andalusia, where we'll visit Cordoba, Granada, and Sevilla. Our daughter Jane and her boyfriend Alex (J&A) will join us for that first portion of the trip.

From Andalusia we will journey west to Cadiz (just north of Gibraltar), then on to the ancient city of Evora, Portugal, and finally arriving in Lisbon.

Here are a few hopefully interesting/amusing photos from the the Frankfurt Airport:

We flew here on Lufthansa Airlines and I have no complaints about Lufthansa. Sitting here in well organized Germany it's great to think about delightful sights, sounds and tastes that await us in Spain.

Auf wieserzehn!

Note: if you go to Gibraltar, the Spanish do not want you to mention it. Sore subject.
