Lost already — Lost already

We had a new GPS app and were having trouble using it so we pulled off next to a hospital to try to make it work. This was some of the parking for the hospital. It was strange. Also, a dead end. A lot of cars turned this way and then had to figure out how to get out.

We finally arrived at the Madrid Airport. After, I swear, walking five miles through the airport we got our rental car, got a scary letter about gangs hijacking rental cars and we headed out!
