If I have not mentioned the weather much it’s is because it does not seem to change. Sunny days, dry air and light breezes. Wonderful!
Today is the day I need to transfer from one hotel to another to start the official tour of Paradors and Pousadas. So I slept in, spent a couple hours in the fitness center, packed and am now having lunch at the new hotel waiting to meet and greet friends and those who will soon become friends.
The reason I say that is while having my lunch I met a Scottish couple, John Grant and Wendy Ritchie!
I recently completed a “self help book”. The title was Stop Doing that Shit. There are a lot of great quotes in it. Many I cannot say in front of my granddaughter. One is “How good can you stand it?” This morning I moved out of a luxurious Doubletree by Hilton because I was on my own for 4 days and it was 1/2 the price of the Corinthian I am now in. It is beyond comprehension how luxurious this hotel is and how attentive the staff is. It makes me wonder how good CAN I stand it.
Stay tuned. I am on a discovery tour to find out.

Michael-
I loved the book. I’ve become more comfortable enjoying myself and “SDTS” helped. Life is good and well on its way to wonderful.
Wishing you the same.
Say hello to our kin for me.

I recall saying to you months ago that we are too old to be unhappy. I also enjoyed the book and am coming to the conclusion that it is just as easy to be happy as it is to be sad. I choose happy
