The next day I was walking through the plaza. And a protest broke out for the liberation of Galicia From Spain.  What the heck I decided to join in!  It had a cool name Soberania! I could relate! The police showed up and no arrests were made.

 

I grabbed the three hour bus ride to Fisterra!  Over the mountains and through the woods to the Atlantic Coast. The views were breathtaking! All I can say is this trip just seems to get better!  Seaport Villages, fishing villages, oyster farms, boats and boats and boats! The salt air is refreshing! I found a remodeled farmhouse turned spa as my launching base for my assault to the Finisterre Lighthouse Considered in Columbus' time as the end of the earth. I will start my hike there tomorrow morning!

 

I trekked out to the lighthouse!  What did I find? Goats! Here are some shots of the end of the world!

 

 

 

Notice the Cross

I can now say I have been to the end of the world and back!

 

 

Back to Madrid! I checked out the Royal Palace and Plaza de Mayor!  Both Were very beautiful!  That evening I hung out around the Plaza by the Royal theater.  I heard some music going on so I walked over to the Royal Palace.  Radio Madrid was putting on a music festival!  Flamingo dancers, jazz and pop! I noticed a group Wearing T-shirts with Living Water written on the fronts! All of a sudden the choir robes came out! They got up and rocked the palace with four Gospel songs In English!

Now what are the odds that an American in Madrid can go to Spain's Royal Palace and hear gospel music in English! 

 

 

My last day in Spain! The real Madrid basketball team had a game at the Palacia de Los Desportes So there I went! They offered free pictures standing in front of recent European basketball trophies that real Madrid had won! So what the heck I shared in their championships! And they won

105 to 72!

 

 

Back to the States!  It took two hours to get through security at the Madrid Airport and only 15 minutes to get through customs in Philadelphia!  Go Figure?

 

The adventure continues.
