I got worn out just from reading what you went through. Airports are on the top the list for me for causing stress so you have my sympathies shenanigator : (

Weather looks great though but it was rather sad about the police spoiling those folks trying to earn an extra buck - what harm can they really do against the economy. I did read recently that Spain was going backwards to a more nationalist state which is somewhat concerning.
Sounds like you made the best of things anyhow being the person I know you are that did not surprise me : )

Have a great time at the steemfest -hope you upload some pics from there too @shenanigator
