And land in a big city far, far away

I'll cross the ocean

This guy will wake me

Flying tomorrow

Tomorrow's the big one. Flying out of Logan to London, bussing to Stansted and flying to Almeria, Spain. I'll be picked up at the airport and will drive a couple of hours to the finca in the almond orchard in the middle of the National Forest. I wish I could be more specific than that, but I don't have the information yet.
The plan is to spend about six weeks there, travelling to Granada and other cool spots, including a nearby lake where I hope to get in some fishing. Obviously, I will be looking at used bicycles as the finca is rather remote.
Baggage includes a sketch pad, a watercolor pad, paints, brushes, pencils and a couple of books on drawing/painting. Oh yes, I am also carrying the leather-bound journal I use as an idea book, which Shannon gave me waaaay back when I decided to study art. As a matter of fact, tucked in the binding is the $20 she slipped in with it saying that starving artists need a good cup of coffee now and then. Let's see if I can bring it back.
Have a great winter, All, I'll see you after April 5.
