Day 20: January 13 ... return to Madrid for the last stretch

I left Logroño at 10 am and arrived at my new (and last hotel) at 3:30.  I splurged a little and booked myself into an old traditional hotel located near the Royal Theatre.

Along the way, I made some new friends in Madrid, and I joined them last evening for dinner and late night cocktails.  All 3 work for a private, distance-learning university.  Jesus, an archeologist, Carmen, a specialist in preserving cultural heritage.  Maria, a Greek woman who was lured by an ex-lover to Madrid ... and stayed; she is a social psychologist.  Needless to say, we had quite an interesting, lively and long conversation over a platter of the most delicious seafood.  Unfortunately, I failed to snap a photo.  I hope one day to see them again.  Post-dinner cocktails kept me out way beyond 2 am ... since I have not worn a watch during this entire trip ... I lost track of the time.
