time to get back to work...

Hey all,

Heading back to The Gambia tomorrow, and for the most part I'm looking forward to getting back to my house, getting back to my fam, and getting back to work.
But Madrid was a blast. The things I was most pleased about was seeing pieces of art that I had studied in college, but only seen in books, never in real life. While here, I saw "Guernica" by Picasso, "The Garden of Earthly Delights" and "The Haywain" both by Bosch. They were all huge!! I was really impressed merely by the size of the works, but then to be able to analyze the detail was really fascinating. I also saw a variety of others, but those three were most poignant in my mind.
Oh boy, now who is ready for a flight, followed by a night at the airport, then a looooong ride in a car, then a horsecart ride, then etc.....?
here we go!
