One weekend in July Jeff and I took the train to Madrid. It was a nice weekend, but extremely hot. It was in the high 90's and if you haven't been to Europe before air conditioning isn't extremely common. We did a lot of walking and sweating that weekend. We decided on this weekend because we found a good deal on a hotel in Madrid.
Here we are on the train.
This is a little tray of goodies we received upon arrival. Spanish champagne (aka Cava), bottled water and fruit.
Circulo Bellas Artes:
I had Jeff take a picture of this is because he calls me the "Minister of Interior Affairs" that is what this says in Spanish.
Puerta del Sol:
One of the many street performers.
This is strawberry tree and bear statue that is the symbol of Madrid.
Plaza Mayor:
Of course we had to stop to have a jar of sangria.
Me and a Spanish Elvis that Jeff insisted I have a picture with.
Templo de Debod: An Egyptain temple that was relocated to Spain in 1972.
Palacio Real & Church of Saint Nicholas from the Templo de Debod:
Here I am sweating like a pig.
Palacio Real: It was closed to walk around as the Pope was to be there the following week.
Church of Saint Nicholas:
San Miguel market: In the market there are many vendors and counters where you can enjoy a glass of wine and beer along with some tapas. Locals can also purchase produce and speciality items.
