¡Estamos en Madrid!

¡Hola from Madrid!

We arrived late on Thursday evening from a short time in Barcelona (We went to a little resort town on the Mediterranean coast outside of the city named Sitges [I think]). We traveled first class from Barcelona, in España we must make seat reservations for every intercity train we travel on. It was fantastic, better than travelling on an airplane. We had a three course meal, real silverware, multiple drinks, and wait til you see the salt and pepper shakers.

We´ve filled our time here rowing a boat in Buen Retiro park, watching an opera on a huge LCD screen outside of the opera house, taking in a bull fight, doing some shopping and relaxing. Its been great, we have yet to go to a museum. Manana for sure though.

Our first room was in a hostel just outside El Plaza Mayor (big famous square in the center of the city) great location, the room and service were poor though so we found a new room at Hotel Paris which is outside of Plaza del Sol.

Can´t post any pictures now because the Internet Cafe we are in lacks accessible USB ports. Sorry.

We´re enjoying the last leg of our trip and look forward to going home and see all of you.
