Kennedy: This post will be short since we only have 15 minutes of time left at our Internet cafe... We´ve spent the last couple of days in Madrid. Compared to Barcelona, it´s pretty calm, but just as nice. And hotter! The weather has been perfect, at least 25 degrees every day and clear blue skies. We stayed two nights in two different hostels, one sketchy and one roomy. Both cheap :)
We took our first high-speed train from Barcelona, got to Madrid in 3 hours, going up to 300 km-hr. Our train tonight to Nice will not be so quick... we leave at 10 p.m. and, after two stop overs, will arrive tomorrow at 6:30 p.m. Ahhh.. hoping for a comfy chair and no crying babies!
So past few days have been spent seeing the sights: Museo de Prado, Jardines de Sabatini (great place to watch about 17 dogs playing with each other!), Palacio Real de Madrid, yet another gothic cathedral, and the Royal Botanical Gardens near the Prado. We´ve also tasted some delicious churros, a fried pastry that made our napkins transparent from all the grease - yummm. Also had paella and pints at a fun little tapas bar patio.
That´s about it, time is ticking down fast. Sorry we can´t add any photos again, a lot of these computers don´t have USB ports available. Will hopefully get a chance in Nice.
Ciao for now!

What I wouldn't give to be able to say "We´ve spent the last couple of days in Madrid" right now. Can't wait to see the pictures.

Have a USB port now but not ,uch ti,e and there appears to be trouble reading our photos so again we can post none. We,ll try again soon but right now it is very disappointing.
ReplyDeleteRemember what I taught you: "Tengo novio."
ReplyDeleteAlso, bring me back a churro, I grew up on those.
ReplyDeleteHaven't had to use that phrase yet, my brother has turned out to be a better shield than I thought! And if the churros would keep for the next 2.5 months, you know I'd bring you one. Would you settle for a croissant from Paris??
