I have a few hours to kill in the Madrid airport before continuing on to Lisbon. This is the third time that I've been to this airport and I'm not a fan. The signs are very confusing and I always feel like I have to walk miles and navigate many levels to get anywhere.
The flight from JFK was fine. I sat next to a very pleasant older gal from Long Island... she's been a widow for 24 years, very Italian, diamond cross around her neck, on her way to Lisbon for a... wait for it... pilgrimage to the holy sites with her church group. She gave me an antibacterial wipe to remove the Ebola from my tray table. The whole time I'm chatting with her I'm thinking "don't ask me what I'm doing in Lisbon" but she did. Of course she did. She is a very nice person. I felt like an idiot explaining that I left everyone on their own for a week while I go off biking in foreign lands.
Had a snack at McDonalds. I eat more American fast food out of the country than I do at home. Do they have these ordering stations at McDonalds in the US? I don't remember seeing them anywhere.
It took me awhile to order a tea from this - it was listed under "Infusions" instead of "Hot Beverages". Go figure.
Next post from Lisbon...
