We've reached the center of Spain, finally! Arrived early afternoon and I must say I was impressed with the walking tour I provided Erin; and, I even saw a few things I hadn't noticed in my prior travels here. There's a beautiful catedral next to the Palacio Real (who knew) and the Parque del Retiro is splendid (outshines Central Park I must say). We even had time to visit the Museo del Prado before enjoying some cocktails at happy hour. A late dinner led us to a cafeteria that was lit up like courtyard during a prison break, very strange. To explain, we were in search of water and briefly peeked in the window and discovered that yes, indeed they had some. Before I could ask he handed me the water, I asked for una mas, which he provided, and then gave us a bag of candy that he had wrapped up. We can't figure out what on earth the candy was for, and no we didn't eat it, I left it on a ledge for some bum to enjoy, but it was the weirdest thing to receive. Oh, and while the hotel is very chic and nice, it could be the strangest place I've ever stayed in. I'm not in to this whole modern/new wave thing. Keep it classic.
Happy birthday to Diana!
