Hare Krsna! Hare Rama! AgtSP Paoho Before we were low on energy but moving clean. Now we are sick. 42-hours of hard travel from Braja to Madrid. Rush to squeeze in a visit to the Mathura museum. Drop off the two esteemed professors. Rest and Prasad at Raktak friend house. Very nice people. At airport three hours before flight, line to get to the desk was ONE HOUR! Help Raktak then Immigration and Security - ONE AND ONE HALF HOURS! Kids crying, adults pushing. Tempers short. The Maha-mantra was our fort (and others). Ran to the plane but it delayed for 1-1/2 hours to wait for all the other passengers. Take off. Zoom zoom zoom. Six hours in the dark with the animal channel with no sound. Arrive Amsterdam. Wait for luggage. Get in line for lost luggage after 55-minutes waiting. "THE LUGGAGE HAS COME E E E!" Missed our flight to Madrid. Lost our money. Raghu helping. New ticket to Madrid €800! To Barcelona €400. At another counter same ticket €300. S O L D! Little Prasad and go to the gate. 40-high school kids on the plane. Sit down. PILOT: We have a little bad news. There is fog on Barcelona and we will have to sit here on the airplane for 2-hours. Ayeee! Forty-five minutes later we left. Alfonso and Gandha meet is in Barcelona. We rushed to the bullet train. Found our seat and rolled to Madrid at 300-km/hour. Take test at 11pm. Up for FMP. Meeting with head of Spanish Jung foundation at 10 am. That was like dancing with a peacock. Rest and evening university program with about 35-very progressive people. After the program hit by a wave of dizziness and almost passed out flat on our face in the classroom. Grabbed a chair and made it home. Hare Hare Lay in bed for 14-hours with pain in the waist and then got up and bathed, bathed, bathed. Will chant some rounds and 5.30-6.30 talk a little
