The Realm

For some reason I thought I had a lot more pictures to share but I had forgotten that I got sick on this trip and lost two days where nothing happened. So these last pics are of Karyl-Delta's lovely budgies and of my flight home.



I'm terrible with names and faces be they people or animals. It takes me a long time to get to know some one. I don't remember who all these budgies are so please remind me in the comments. Anyway, these three are lovely. All were lovely. One thing I was amazed was by how much bigger these budgies are than American Budgies. These are about half the size of a true English budgie.

So I did have a great time on my trip despite getting sick. The hurricane made this a bigger adventure than it was. I'm thankful we had minimal damage and all turned out well. I had forgotten how much I loved flying and I really want to do it again. I think I handle long haul flights well. I think I could do a really long flight with no probs like to Australia. I was still sick when I got back and it took me two days to get over jet lag which hit me harder coming home. I adjusted well when I got to Europe just like last time but coming home was harder. I was so dead and went straight to bed. Good thing Chris picked me up because I would not have been able to drive. I'm glad I didn't get stranded in Miami too. It all worked out beautifully and I'm ready for my next adventure.

This day I saw lots of birds and had some very yummy food.



This is a Wood Pigeon. I first saw one of these in the city. One had landed on a chimney. I was amazed how huge these are. Bigger than the common Rock Dove. Was hard to get a decent pic but finally got this one. Was hoping to get an adult showing the white collar and the white wings. You can kind of see the white on the wings here.

Ok so here are some pics of my flight and the first day in Spain. I'm still sorting and uploading pics.



This was my plane to Madrid. An A330-300.
