Time to catch up, been a very busy few days and not much sleep :)  Plane ride was good except Ter did not have TV.   I watched 3 movies.   In Madrid at 7 a.m. then bus to train station, and finding hostel by using the Garmin.
We were able to check in early at 11 so got a few hours sleep before a bit of  site seeing  and tapas. Were going to play it safe at Burger King but tapas and wine was the right call.  Meet three girls from states.  Ter  is enjoying people watching (short skirts) 

Early train ride, beautiful country, olive groves,wheat fields, mountains and desert.  6 hour train ride, very relaxing.  John met us and we made a short stop at the market then an hour drive to Lubrin.   Mair had a delicious supper prepared and we enjoyed an evening of getting to know each other.

Slept in till 8:30 which is late for us.  Took a walk to check out the village. Very pictureques!  Very quiet, it does not come to life till around noon when people get out to go to church  for 12:30 service.  It is a big beautiful catholic church sits in the center of town  Was told later that most people gather at the plaza after church for Paella.  

Mair and John had about 20 friends over to meet us, mostly from the UK though two young couples from the USA. Really enjoyed visiting with them.  Was invited to a knitting circle, bunco party and a few homes.  Mair and John are fantastic host.   Tomorrow we will be shown "the ropes" around here to be able to take care of things while they are gone. 
 Will  be taking care  their adorable sheep dog - Megan and cat  - Sammy
