We're coming home

I'm back . . . I have been unable to blog over the last few days because I have been unable to access the Internet via a wireless connection. I am blogging from the computer in the hotel in Spain so unfortunately I cannot post any new pictures.

We ended our Paris trip with a wonderful afternoon at Versailles. We toured the gardens and the palace. The highlights of the palace tour were views of the King's bedroom, Marie Antoinette's bedroom and of course the Hall of Mirrors. The girls really enjoyed this visit. After making our way back to FIAP some of the girls went for pizza at a restaurant nearby. They made their way back early to finish last minute packing before we embarked for Spain. We're going to miss Paris and all the wonderful adventures we shared. Spain . . . here we come!

After arriving in Madrid and checking into the hotel, we met for a walking tour of the city. Our tour guide, Leo, was spectacular. She started by taking us downstairs into a parking garage to show us the "walls" that were built by the Moors - incredible. Next we went to Plaza Mayor for a traditional spanish dinner before going to bed after a long day.

The next morning after breakfast we met Leo again for bus tour of the city and a visit to El Museo del Prado. Since we we short on time at the musuem we made a point of seeing Velazquez and Goya. After lunch it was off to Toledo for a walking tour of the city. The cathedral was spectacular as was the view from the top of the city. Afterwards, the girls were on their own for dinner.

We're scheduled to leave early in the morning for Miami. Our flight departs at noon, however, because we're such a big group we're staggering our check out times and we're scheduled leave the hotel by 8:45 am. I know the girls have had a wonderful time but I think they are all ready to come home!

I hope you have enjoyed reading about our adventures - it's been my pleasure to accompany your girls on this trip. See you soon!
