"Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity..." --John Muir, 1898

Days 13 and 14: Return to Madrid and Flight Home

Back to Madrid by train for my final day in Spain before flying home.  I rented a room from a grandma and grandpa who spoke no English and had thick Madrileño accents.  Communicating was an interesting experience!  I made a final walk around town before turning in early: the Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol, the royal palace...

After 28 or so hours of travel, I arrived in
Albuquerque, New Mexico where I spent the night before driving the four hours back home.  Those two weeks went by quickly!
