We are in Spain

Greetings everyone,
We are thoroughly enjoying our visit to Madrid and are wrapping up our last night.  We have walked an average of 10 miles per day visiting all of the wonderful sites of Madrid:  the Prado, the Reina-Sofia, the Thyssen, Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol, the palace and cathedral, the beautiful park of Madrid, countless side streets and quaint places, etc.  The people are very friendly, the food is delicious and the wine is so easy to drink :-)




The weather is all we could hope for:  sunny, cool and breezy!    We also visited Avila, Segovia and El Escorial--all fascinating and beautiful places.  Everyone is enjoying themselves and we are traveling with a nice group of people.  We leave tomorrow for Toledo and then Granada.  Hopefully we will figure out how to post photos.
Adios,
Rick and Monique

    you see the old walls of thirteenth century avila. what a gem. there are 88 towers and it is worth a couple days to explore. well let's see what we can put up next?
