Day 5: December 29 ... another nap day and travel plans to Granada

I think I'm still a little jet lagged, or ... I'm blogging too late in the evening ... or I'm just going with the flow without any agenda or deadline after 2 years of work that kept me on a rigid schedule.  But I fell into such a deep sleep this afternoon that when I woke up, I felt transfixed, motionless.

Tomorrow is a travel day.  I'll leave this apartment at 7 am to catch a 9 am bus to Granada.  As I had time to kill and wanting to ensure I have the connections all worked out, I did a trial run this morning.  I'll walk 2 blocks to the Embajadores station that connects with the local train routes.  I'll catch a local train (line 5) to the Méndez Álvaro station that connects to the Estación Sur de Autobuses, the bus station in Madrid that serves destinations in the south of Spain.

The trip to Granada will take 5 hours.  There, Fred I will meet up (he's flying from Marseilles) for a New Years extravaganza that includes a stay in an old monastery, a gastronomic experience in a restaurant that serves 14 people at a sitting, and an escorted tour of the Alhambra (his Christmas gift to us!),
