Well we begin our trek home with a early morning walk to train terminal then a six hour ride coast to coast across Spain.
Nice accommodations on the train but it appears to be one that makes stops along the way which adds to the time. I would say based on highway traffic observed, we reached speeds of 150 to 170kph but this is just a rough estimate
We arrived in Barcelona and since the Airport and hotel is in Catalonia , which is a suburb. we couldn’t figure out how to get their on train and or bus so we splurged and hoped in a cab for 30 euros or 15 a couple
Our hotel was modern and nice. So we had a nice nap then supper. During supper a 45-50 yr old couple two chairs down we’re having a grand old time and speaking English. I was trying to make out where from and came to the conclusion they were Canadian. This was based on their politeness, being jovial, interaction with the waiter and speech patterns.
As we were leaving they asked us where we were from and sure enough they were a good ole Alberta couple. I ended up sitting at their table for 15 minutes and dam it was fun. They now live in Medicine Hat but they are previously professional rodeo riders . She was Canadian junior barrel racing champ and I never got to what he did. I told them they win as coolest jobs ever. Then I warned the cowboy that periwinkle has a bucket list and kissing a cowboy is one of them. They laughed.
That transitioned into throwing shots st Kerry and his employment and finally topping it with her advising she was a nurse and me saying ( why I have no idea) “oh I can tell by your hair style.” Why I said this god only knows, but their reactions were great, culminating in me telling them “I don’t know where I got my dumbass comments”. She told me she was going to google nurse hair styles. Absolutely a great couple who I could of talked for hours with.
I said my goodbyes and then up to the room to pack for our trip home
