Saturday 21 January 2012
We awoke with squinted eyes at the sound of our 5AM alarm set to get Myles to the Granada airport. Nicole helped him squeeze the GIANT dog slippers into his small carry-on backpack, along with his newly bought door covering. Thank goodness he's a light packer!
By 5:30 we were ready to leave, but Myles surprised us with a gift of rose tea from Harrods! Dian then presented him with the piece of Alhambran tile she'd discovered after the rains, and he was very grateful.
We arrived at the airport in a timely manner, and groggily waited in line with Myles. We spied a group of nuns and a man ahead of us, carrying just one bag- an accordion labeled "Mission for Paraguay." Turns out it was just the man leaving, but we assume they were all apart of the 5'-or-less order since not one of them came up to our shoulders.
About half an hour later passengers were called to board, and with hugs and kisses we send Myles off, bound for New York (where he's attending school). Nicole put her arms around Charles and Dian and sleepily said, "That's my boyfriend!"
Back at the homestead we zonked out until 12:15 PM. Having a light lunch of chicken and egg salad, we all started packing in preparation for leaving in a couple days, and Dian finished all 31 postcards she had set out to write!
Charles made fried pasta and soup for dinner, but Nicole opted to sleep more while he and Dian ate. We all agreed Myles' visit was a good one, and we were all (Nicole especially) glad he came.
