Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but I've been (and still am) under the weather. Every week, it seems, I've eaten something that hasn't agreed with me, and I'm sick of it. (Pun intended).
Now I'm in Madrid, and for the second day I haven't had the energy to do much of anything. I think I've got a bit of a postnasal drip. It sucks, but if there was any place on this trip to get sick, it's probably here, for we're in a twin room in a nice hostel with free wireless for four nights. And Anna's going to be back in this city in not much longer than a month. Moreover, I have nothing in particular I want to see here, as I've been here before, and it's kind of nice to at least hear the goings on of the big city ouside our little balcony. I just have to focus on feeling better for Lisbon.
It's so cool to see Anna in this city, though, even if it just has been for the two dinners I've attempted ouside of the room. She and the city just fit together: both vibrant, diverse, adventurous, and confident. She's going to have such a blast next semester.
Also, I found an English-language bookshop that will have Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on Saturday! Perfect for the long trip home.

Hey Char Sweetie,
I'm sorry you are feeling icky but at least the Hostel is comfortable. You'll get some spanishy practice in anyway I hope, for our trip to Lima!
Love you Mom
Char,
I am so sorry your under the weather. I will start this moment visualizing you well ,strong, smiling and enjoying every last moment.
Our little dog Liz was named after the port in Lisbon.So her birth name is Lisbon and she is a Libra like you. You will have a wonderful time in Lisbon. You have cosmic connections.
The litter she came from were all named after every port my friend's husband stopped to supply the ship. Little Liz was the runt of the litter. Her dad was a yorkie and her mom a ginger minpin. She will be 7 on Oct.22. Just thought I would update you on an unknowable cosmic connection you now are aware of.Lisbon will Rock for Char!!!!I am sure you will take some great pics of Anna before you leave Madrid,knowing how magically healed you will feel.
Love,Susan
Sent a comment two days ago, but apparently it was not transmitted. By now you are feeling better, have "landed" in Lisbon and are enjoying the new location of your Grand Tour. Thinking of you and look forward to your return. L, M
