Traveling Segovia to Madrid

Errand day

Emma woke up still feeling yucky so it's a good thing we had a super lazy day.  We managed to get out of bed by 10:00, then eat breakfast and a pastry by noon, phew.  While most of us were eating pastries, Charlie and Eric got their hair cut.   Segovia is so little they had no problem finding a barber within walking distance, incidentally he had been cutting hair since the age of 15.  

We drove the quick 90 minutes to Madrid and had to wait 30 minutes for the landlord to let us in.  Never fear - we had our Rook cards handy and we played on the steps of the apartment complex until he came.

After lunch of tapas that Stewart made for us (bread, Jamon, tomatoes and cheese grilled to perfection, cherries, and chips) Stewart and Eric drove to the Mission Office to get Stewart's Mission luggage that we have to figure out how to ship to SLC before we leave Madrid.  There will be a serious cost analysis that has to happen as shipping home the luggage will not be cheap (we'll deal with that Monday).

Sydney, Charlie, and I did the grocery shopping while Maren and Emma stayed home so Emma could get ready to tape her dance audition.  (We found out this week that she has to tape a dance audition for her Dance Company and it's due today - Saturday).  So we rolled back the carpet, moved the coffee table, and she took a Tylenol, gritted her teeth and practiced.

After dinner we spent an hour on the plaza just outside our apartment taping Emma while Spanish grandmas looked on and young kids playing soccer as Emma jumped, twirled, and leaped her Ballet, Jazz, and Contemporary dances to music Maren had downloaded from Apple Music that we then blared on a speaker Stewart had from his mission.  I'm sure it'll be the most memorable dance audition she does - hopefully the the Madrid scenery will give her an edge over the other dancers - at least it's unique and memorable.
