In madrid

Ah, international keyboards. How I´ve missed you so...


Arrived yesterday morning in Madrid. Hot. Soooo hot. As we trekked with our luggage along del Prado (not calle del prado where we should have been, but that´s another story...) we read off an electronic sign that it was in fact 38 degrees. celcius. seems more than a little ironic that i´m suffering with a cold, but i hear sangria and churros con chocolate is a lovely remedy for that. made a run for the galleria reina sofia to see picasso´s guernica as well as other modern and surreal works. had a wonderful first dinner of tomatoes, peppers, calamari (dc) and fried eggs.

Am trying to find out if we´ll be able to see the spain-germany football match...fingers crossed! (we´ll likely be on the road for Fez)

Nice to hear from you, but I couldn't find the photos. Keep hydrated, but not with tinto!
Love, Dad
