Madrid, Terminal T4

Thursday, October 26, 2017, Arlington, Massachusetts--The vacation was wonderful.  We enjoyed it immensely.  The trip to Boston yesterday was relatively uneventful, a small delay at the airport while a piece of navigational equipment was replaced.  Easy Lyft ride to daughter's home and a welcome by grandsons.  

We enjoyed our last dinner at Nimu, in the Chueca barrio in Madrid with friends Tim and José Carlos, whom we had met in Chile a few years ago.  The food was good, even if some of the dishes were not particularly novel.  John really enjoyed a new-to-him dish of "veal cheeks" which was a combination of tripe, veal meats, chorizo and black pudding in a thick gravy.  Ben enjoyed another version of butterfish. We completed the meal with an excellent smooth albariño.   

Tuesday we also walked the neighborhood we had stayed in and then packed.  Back to Washington on Saturday.
