Wrappings Things Up

This entry will be short.  It's been a very long day, and it is late, and we have to up early to check out of the hotel before breakfast at nine.  I will catch up tomorrow.

Major things from today were the Spaniards' presentations, a wine-tasting (compliments of one of the Spaniards who is a sommelier), our final dinner together, and now a party.  I have packed and am as ready as I can be for the morning.

I found out this afternoon that Jorge's brother-in-law passed away today. I asked Jorge if I should change my plans, but he said it won't impact anything we were going to do.  Since I don't know the situation, I can only take him at his word that it is OK to come ahead, but it feels a little awkward (OK, a lot awkward).  If need be, I can entertain myself in Mieres for a couple of days if he needs to be elsewhere.  So, we will see what happens.

In the morning, we will still have two one-to-ones, then the certificate ceremony, and an early (by Spanish standards) lunch.  Then it's two hours back to Madrid on the bus.  I have a few hours to kill before my train at 8:30.  If there are lockers in the station, I could leave my bag there and walk around the train station area a bit.  I will just have to wait and see.
