A year ago, our electronics were stolen in Tanzania. One result of the theft was that blog entries became delayed. Organizing pictures was problematic until I replaced my iPad and phone a month later. I skipped part of Spain and all of Portugal in order to post more timely blogs. 

We continued to become more seasoned travelers via many modes of transportation. We currently have 16 plane trips, 11 train rides, and countless cab, subway and bus trips under our belt. Generally speaking travel days result in increased tensions. 

We booked our accommodations again at Casa Gracia. This time, we had a six bed dorm to ourselves. The extra room was fantastic.
