One last day to pack, do some last minute things and say goodbye to friends.
We headed into town to start this final day in Arganda del Rey with a walk into the pueblo.
What the . . .
Looks like we're going
to miss the fun this weekend
It's ALWAYS something
to do with Spain's favorite author
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
A local checking out the
Christmas decorations on the plaza
Cool "dress" in a flower shop
Time for lunch at our favorite
Armanda del Rey bar
La Tertulia
Dried peppers add atmosphere
We gave owner/cook
Maricarmen some
GRACIAS flowers
La Tertulia from our table
Lunch was GOOD!

Old Cemetery Entrance
Lots . . .
. . . and lots . . .
. . . of flowers
One last pass by our Metro station
And one last night of practice
with the Osos Rivas teams
We had good workouts with both the Junior and Senior squads again tonight.
Coach Jesús Sánchez said some
kind words on my departure
I listened and felt sad about
leaving this great group of men
I appreciated the players
applauding after Jesús' words
Addressing the team one last time
The players honored me by letting
me break the practice ending huddle
"3-2-1, WE ARE ONE!"
With MLB Fran
With our linemen
With a mob
With a bigger mob
With the DBs
Me with DBs?
After practice we met at a nearby
Chinese All-You-Can-Eat Buffet
For only 12 Euros you also get all of the soda pop, beer or vino tinto de verano you can drink.
I think they lost money on us tonight.
Juniors at the Buffet
More Juniors
More Seniors joined by . . .
. . . Daniel Vilches
"The Noblest Oso of Them All"
Alex and Mario
My two Go-To Junior Linemen
Senior Guard Marine
Adios Osos, until we meet again!
