The trip to Madrid went pretty smoothly. It took 8 hours to fly from Minneapolis to Amsterdam. I watched a movie and worked on this blog so really only got a 20 minute nap in. Arrived at 6am local time which was like 10pm at home. 3 hour layover and then a 2.5 hour flight to Madrid.

Before I jump into trip stuff we’ve got to start with the life updates first! I had my regular 6 month oncology check up at Mayo clinic with Dr. Costello.
This is always the hardest post to write because I have to acknowledge that the trip is over and piling responsibilities back home take over. The night before was our last meal in Japan. Joanna said let’s close it out with a bang and get Okonomiyaki one last time.
I just did the math, of the days we’ve been on this trip we’ve averaged 14,600 steps per day. The most we walked was 26,024 steps when we went to the bamboo forest on June 5th. At this point of the trip our feet were tiiireed. However, it was the last full day for the trip so we had to make it count.

Generally this entire trip has been pretty freeform where we didn’t have any where specific to be at any given time. Today was a bit more structured as I bought us tickets to the Osaka aquarium for 11am a little bit more than a week ago and dinner reservations at Kani Doraku at 5:30pm, the restaurant with the giant crab on the front.
