Monday morning, I caught an early train to the airport half a block away from my hotel. The Estació de França has a direct connection for 2.5 euros which not only consts less, but allows one to avoid the hassle of hooligans and the stairs up and down the metro and then the bus to the airport.
I checked out the cheese counter, but the MENCHANGO were 70 euros which is more expensive than my hood's gourmet cheese section, so I skipped that. The flights were uneventful and I made it home intact.

A word on Basque regional food: I once went to the basque region and did not realize of course what exactly I ordered. "What the locals eat" I managed to say. I was served a veal head. Whole. COLD! In aspic. You know, jelled!
