Not Mayberry

Can a shy, retiring teacher from the big city find true happiness in the small town of Wilkesboro NC, which even the locals call "Moonshine Capital of the World."

We made it back from Iberia ...

... very late last night, or very early this morning. The return flight was much easier than the flight out which left us setting in Dulles Airport for about 3 or 4 extra hours due to weather (read antiquated and underfunded air traffic control). Once we got to Lisbon we had a great time. Spent a lot of time with the two Sobrinos, visited Sevilla and Corduba, and took several long bus trips and a short train trip. Spain still has a wonderfully functioning railway system, unlike certain poorly developed countries like, say, the United States.

Anyway, we are back. One of the cats at least has developed the nasty habit of missing the kitty-box and hitting the futon as a means of expressing her disgust at our neglect. Sounds like Mosby - she is the more complex and devious of the two. Ben simply yells at us for a few days. The little lummox was rescued from the doggie hostel and is happy to be home.

So are we. Though I miss Lisbon and Sevilla.

Glad the trip back was calmer than your trip here. We loved having you two here and showing you around Sevilla.

Sevilla definitely has some retirement possibilities for me :)

Well, I still want to retire in Lisbon, the poor man's San Francisco. And it is a beautiful language even if neither Tia nor I can understand a word of it.
