Revisit Spain #2

In this rerun, we pick up our travels in Spain — riding not-so-fancy trains, navigating airport drama, and making pacts to only panic when the alarm says it’s time. We also soak up the beauty of Segovia, give it a solid 5 out of 5, and dream about coming back to explore even more. It’s travel, marriage, compromise, and occasional shenanigans — all from the perspective of your favorite older, wise lesbians. Come wander with us.
