<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I rented a car at Barajas in 2001. I had paid for a
Ford Focus for 11 days. When I appeared at the counter there was a lot of
scrambling for files, envelopes, etc. Finally the rental agent held
up keys that had the familiar symbol of Mercedes and asked me if I could
drive an automatic drive car. Huh? Yes, I could. No extra
charge. A Mercedes 230 for 11 days. Total cost 255.00. I used
my credit card for the additional coverage, to refuse the additional coverage, I
mean. We headed north out of Madrid for Avila, Vigo, Pontevedra,
Santiago. I was showing my wife the Camino backwards. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I will admit I had a hard time finding where to return the
car but made it eventually. I actually drove 100 mph three times on the
super highways, both hands on the wheel. WOW!! The road do move
under you fast. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Barajas is not so bad, verdad?</FONT></DIV>
