Today we drove from Santo Domingo de Calzado to Madrid. We bid farewell to our friend Manolo, and after checking in to the Ritz, we went to the Plaza Mayor for lunch. After perusing the coin and religious articles shops, we returned to our hotel. Early tomorrow Bob, Brian and Butch return to the States, while Karl will remain behind to vacation with his wife and Julie who will arrive tomorrow. At the close of the day we enjoyed sharing memories while relaxing with drinks in the lounge at the historic Five Star Ritz Hotel.
