Madrid-Saturday

Spaniards say Madrid is nearest thing to heaven.

My son may disagree as he prefers Sevilla. In fact, after a couple weeks to rest up, I'm going to stay with Cody. Rich & Tasha are taking their delayed honeymoon in Sevilla Spain.

Our bus tour of the city began @ 9 am. Our Madrid guide took us all over the city & turned us loose in Plaza del Sol in city center. There were 6 of us girls who didn't know each other prior to this trip & we've had a ball together. It happens the others are all from different parts of Australia.

After an afternoon of shopping, 4 of us tried to tell a taxi driver the name of the hotel. That didn't work so one of the gals made horns & said "el toro". He understood then & we all had a good laugh. Our hotel is only a block from the bull ring.

We were disappointed that we couldn't see a bullfight tonite. Wouldn't ya know, it's tomorrow. We leave in the morning for Burgos and Bilbao Spain.

Just for my grandson & great granddaughters, I had my picture taken with their favorite characters.
