My trip has reached its end.
I had a wonderful coffee and pastry in a quiet cafe this morning, watching Madrid stroll by. I've loved spending time here, and I will miss it.
I did a bit of shopping in the early afternoon ... the post holiday sales make this a clothes shopping paradise, and I bought a pair of brown suede shoes. No other city, in my opinion, compares to Madrid for the quality and styling of shoes ... they are simply exquisite.
I'm going to head out now in search of olive oil and saffron.
A taxi in the morning will take me to the airport for a 7 am flight back home, connecting through Amsterdam.
I'll write the final blog for this trip once I am off the ground and have had some quiet time to reflect on this little odyssey that I have lived for the past 21 days. Given the people I have met (especially!), the experiences I have had and the places I have visited, I just cannot imagine how this trip could have been more perfect.
