Rain has been a defining feature of the trip.  Before our arrival, I was reading articles about how low the reservoirs in Andalucia were with some being at only about 25% of capacity.  Apparently our presence brought them some much needed rain, so it was fitting that rain should wreak havoc on our grocery trip on our last day in Spain.

In an effort to minimize travel time on Tuesday morning (and to save money), we  moved to an airport hotel for our last night.  There was a large supermarket (Carrefour) located less than a mile from the hotel so all of us but Jim struck out to purchase bubble wrap, olive oil, sherry vinegar and flake sea salt.  

While we were in the supermarket, the heavens opened!  

Since we’re now in suburbia, there was no taxi stand, so I resorted to Uber for our trip back to the hotel.  I scheduled my first ride at 655pm with a driver that was “6 minutes away.” After the fourth Uber driver cancelled because the “streets were flooded,” we were thankful that Jim was not with us.  We texted him and he got the hotel to call us a taxi.  At 815pm, we finally got back to hotel!
