Getting to meet Deni and Dax and the rest of the gang

March 22nd

We get into the airport and it’s night time. We are wheeling our stuff out to the bus we need to take to get to Deni and Dax’s house. I am having trouble getting my cart up this curb and David is far ahead so I am pulling and pulling and a really nice English man comes up and offers to help me just as I am pulling my cart onto the sidewalk. He says, I was too late, sorry, wish I could have helped you sooner. I almost cried, he was so nice and I was so tired. We finally make it to the bus and we meet another nice English man who is talking to us about his philosophy on life and how he likes to run and how he is not interested in getting married but his mom gets on him from time to time about it. The bus ride went really fast talking to this guy and before we knew it we were at the train station.

It was tricky trying to find the right train to go on...I picked wrong. The train was the one that went the same way as the one we were supposed to take, but it passed our stop. We get out at the closest stop and make our way upstairs to the street so we can call Deni to come get us. At this point David is yelling and I am balling and neither one of us is having a good time. Full Moon, you gotta love it...

Deni and Idoya come in Idoya’s tiny little car...Our stuff just about fits. Idoya still talks about how she had her foot all the way to the floor and the car was still moving slowly. We made it to Deni and Dax’s house and met Dax, Martin, Minion and Maria. We had a yummy curry meal and talked for a while. Everyone was so nice! Dax is from Germany, Martin is from Austria, Minion is from Germany and Deni and Maria are from Spain. We kidded about being in England and only hanging out with them J They said people from other cultures tend to find each other and flock together. The next day is Easter and we are invited to go to Easter at Matt and Idoya’s house.
