It seemed an eternity stretching out but all of a sudden it’s time to pack my bags properly and think about the return home.
All of us are tired. I think if one is going to do this sort of work there should be one day off per week just to have a chance to look around the countryside and feel just for that day one has no responsibilities.

He left to go home for his daughter’s birthday and so the three of us are filling in until the new hosts arrive.
They arrived at 6:45, a little late in the day for orientation but since they have done this before I trust it will not be too difficult. In any case I have an arrangement with Gilberto that he drive me to Avila tomorrow. If he weakens and decides to stay longer, I will get on a train!

Gilberto, behind me – an absolute rock. Never flustered, master of the 100+ keys in this place, noticing and doing without a word. And the other team, Suzanna from BC and Joachim from Salamanca.
