We checked out of the hotel around 8:30 am, drove to the Rick Steves Travel Center and found a parking spot right by the front door. We were glad about that since it was raining. Then we walked to Chanterelle for breakfast. Sharon and I split the Eggs Benedict and Kris had the cornmeal waffle. Yummy breakfast.
We returned to the Rick Steves Travel Center. We had signed up for 2 classes. Travelers' Spanish and Barcelona and Madrid. We had time to look though the store. We each had $100 to spend for signing up for the tour. The condition was that it all had to be spent at one time. So we had time to think. We wanted to wait until after the classes. Both classes were very enjoyable. Good presenters. I did learn that you can't say por favor to much. We heard some good suggestions for things to do when we are not scheduled with the tour.
After the classes we bought our items. My total was $122 until they calculated all the sale discounts - It was $95.99!! pretty good. It was 2 pm before we headed out for lunch.
We had a nice Mexican lunch before driving back to Portland. Most of the drive went smoothly except when it decided to rain vigorously. I am glad it was Sharon driving and not me. Thank you Sharon. It was a fun, though quick trip.
That sounds like a fun trip in June!! Also sounds like you got some nice things for the $100.
