Travel: A long day..or 3?

ANNNND we’re off! Yeah yeah yeah, our wedding was over 6 months ago but as teachers we cram 12 months worth of work into 10 and then cram 6 months of adventure into 2. Huge shout out to Annamarie who gave us our super early morning ride to SeaTac. Carry-ons loaded with snacks and caffeinated for our long travel ahead, we boarded our first flight to JFK. A few hours into our 6 hour layover, we ran into the lovely Elayna and her mama in transit to Greece. In true Brandt fashion, his neon head-to-toe was hard to miss. Though I saw her a few days ago, we managed to never communicate our layover locations. So here we were, just hanging in NY.

A few chapters of reading (yes guys Brandt is reading a REAL book), and an Auntie Anne’s Cinnamon pretzel later we boarded the long haul to Gatwick. Here we sit, 5 hours into our 10-hour layover before our last flight into Malaga where the loveliest Rataezyk parents will be greeting us! While these layovers have felt long, and yes we are delirious and tired, we’ve filled the time with PRET sandwiches, lots of good shoe watching, European style critiquing, and a free “just married” cappuccino from Maria. We even befriended Max, a 7 year old on “holiday” who plans to start a Vlog of his hover board and snorkeling skills...look out world, the youth of the UK is taking over! I’d say this exhausted, teaching, married couple’s travels are off to a great start.

The happy couple ready to go!

Alhambra, Ronda, and Chocolate Churros

Mom and Dad Rataezyk were quite the tour guides. On Tuesday Jack braved the Spanish highways to Granada where we spent the day at the Alhambra. Alhambra is Arabic for the Red Castle. It was originally built in 899 but then was renovated and rebuilt by the king of Granada in the 11 th century. In the 1333 century it was converted to a royal palace. After Spain was conquered by Christianity the mosque was turned into a church. We enjoyed exploring the palace, among the Islamic carvings filling the interior of the palace. It is one of the last standing examples of ancient Islamic architecture. I learned that Islamic art uses many geometric shapes and repeated patters, as well as lines. But you will never see any form of life represented in their art. Barely any wall was left bare, if it wasn’t meticulously carved in either Islamic calligraphy or design, it was quilted with various vibrant colored tiles.

Madrid

Madrid   Madrid Day 1: Acclimation and Rain    We made it! Our train from Malaga to Madrid was a breeze. The AVE is a high speed train with comfy seats and meals far superior to airplane food. Yeah yeah that may not say much to some of you but hey for us it was a delicious, already paid for, meal.  Arriving in Madrid you could feel the humidity of entering a city. We had been so luck in Malaga to be able to escape the heat in the Rataezyk abode. Stepping out of the train station onto the streets of Madrid was a city shock! I have never been a city kid but my time abroad has shown me some real dense, muggy, foreign city life. Before taking on Madrid, and finding our way to the hostel, let’s start with finding the bathroom. Yeah you had to pay..that’s right you had to pay a few euros just to enter the bathroom in the train station….I could hold it. And we are off! With Brandt as our lead trusty navigator, we traipsed through the city windin...

Valencia

Valencia Day 1:             Train to from Madrid to Valencia was easy, though we were immediately struck by the humidity of the station as we entered the city. We were picked up from the train station by Lynn’s friend Carmen. She conveniently drives a bright orange Jeep (the only one in Valencia of its type we are convinced) so upon exiting the train station she was easy to spot! This train to homestay transportation was ideal, as our hike with packs in the heat would have been treacherous. After some much needed support from a local on the street we found our way to the homestay. (My bad dropping the ball on a missed email with very detailed directions as to how to enter the homestay building.) Roberto runs the homestay with his Chinese girlfriend. They met backpacking in the Philippines and since then have traveled the world together and enjoy meeting and hosting backpackers in their city. He sat us down for our check in and...
