Leslie calls and she says ” I’m going to Spain in January wanna meet me?  Patti books flight. We meet in Madrid. Stay a few days then take a flight to Almeria on the coast. Sunny and warm ocean breezes. At a BNB on the water. We get to place and see a gorgeous sunset on the Mediterranean Sea!  Together again like nothing has changed, funny how time can stop and move forward At the same time, our relationship is the same caring and understanding connection. We meet up with Coralyn.  An amazing women of many dementions. She understands leslie and patti’s abilities and finds the common ground.  Of which she quickly settles into knowing how to brighten our moods!

Funny when you meet an amazing women and think I wonder if others get that they just meet a one of a kind person. I have spent maybe 4 hours in her presence and I am amazed how she has picked up my strengths and brought them back to my attention. It isn’t complementary it is a gentle reminder that she sees things in me that were long forgotten. Karen is her friend for 29 years and immediately I can see why, kind heart and honest to a fault. It was so nice to be around leslie, Coralyn and Karen, such positive energy.

Leslie and I start a new journey for her looking for a condo in Aguadulce.  We visit and immediately love the feeling of the town. 15 minutes from the city, great beaches and somethings we can not quite put our finger on yet but spend 3 days looking for both the perfectly placed home and get to know anything else we can.

We start a new journey traveling through Spain.  We stay a few days in Almeria taking in the shopping, and oh my goodness the food was fantastic (la mayor is the new favorite). We then pack up and go to Granada for a few days we walk all over Granada 6 miles a day and see every corner, entering churches that could bring you to tears,  shopping in true Spanish style, fountains and sunshine.  We were so present in the moment that it was great exploring, then onto Sevilla where we see the beautiful cathedral (3rd largest in the world), roam around all the parks, and take pictures galore. Patti left a souvenir in the water at the Plaza de Espana.

Off to Morocco we go!  We go via ferry to tangier  I keep hearing the Crosby stills and Nash song marrachech express in my head.  We hire a tour guide and start by rockin the KAsbah!  A day and 1/2 we see most of this great city  and I could not believe how beautiful some of the women are!  Wowzer   It was a taste of Morocco of which left us hungry for more!

We return to almeria Spain since we skipped Malaga to come to the place we feel most at home.  We meet Coralyn for dinner and she tells us that she had surgery while we were gone (actually days before we saw her) she bounces back with the strength of a tiger.  Coralyn is single like leslie and I  and the one thing that I think about that is that although we all are not bad to look at, intelligent, funny and well traveled, someone may ask why?  I can tell you why?  We are over qualified for the position.  So please we will all three recall Coralyn’  sashay!  When presented with an offer which is not of your spirt in which we live life!

leslie gave me a symbolic statue from Almeria that will bring me good luck and also insure my return   See you in February 2018 Spain  I truly love you!💕💕♥

Leaving tomorrow😂
