Sunrise, sunset between New York and Madrid, sunset in Granada, Spain.

Before a person can undertake a hike or two, you have to get to the trailhead. In our case,
we crossed the United States followed by a crossing of The Pond, sometimes called the Atlantic
Ocean. Then we drove from Madrid to Granada, a fair distance on little sleep but fortunately, with
a full tank of gas, that is, the car not us. Thanks to Delta and Iberia Airlines, the flights
were superb. Nevertheless, air travel is for the birds although a lot more convenient than
walking/swimming.

We can't remember, in a long time at least, waking and deciding the lowest priority in our lives
would be going on a hike. This occurred today. Hopefully, with some sleep under our pillows,
we hope to regain the zest. In the meantime, we posted a few, what we think, are interesting
photographs of the journey.




Morning dawns on Madrid as we observe from thousands of feet above.





Setting sun over the Atlantic, midway between New York and Madrid.





Notice the partial, parting of clouds to reveal a partly-lit city below.





'Birds of pray'.





A magical moment at 5:30am approaching Madrid.
