On Friday between leaving our room at twelve and the taxi to the airport at three we spent time on the hotel roof and ate lunch at Cachalot. Marveling at how three waitresses handle a big room. Smooth flight to Madrid. 5-minute taxi to the very adequate Ibis hotel where they quickly moved us to a room with 2 beds because the first room only had a double bed. It was an extra pleasure not to have to get Covid tested on the morning of our flight. that would have added a lot of time tension. Good flight to New York. Exceptionally good views of Long Island on the way to JFK, all the way from Montauk, including Three Mile Harbor in East Hampton. Good taxi to East 20th. Good bed for surprisingly good night's sleep. Shocked to find that someone had sneaked an exotic ananas-banana fruit into the US in Emma's luggage. Unfortunately, the little we ate was not special.
Thanks to Emma for discovering Madeira and carrying me through the levadas and veredas. Once again I had a long vacation in a foreign country without any money in my pocket.
