Madrid!


On Saturday, we went with a few families into the city to see the sights. It was helpful because we got an idea of where all the landmarks are, how to ride the subway, and where to buy really good ice cream. This first picture is the largest bullring in Spain. As you can see the weather was perfect.







Next we have some ancient Egyptian temple-thing, donated by Egypt, shipped over in pieces and reconstructed here. That's all we know. We will try to find out more about it before you all come to visit so that we can make it sound exciting.






The inside of Madrid's cathedral, which stands just opposite the palace. Third largest in Europe? Can't quite remember.







The kids liked the street performers best:















Anyway, Madrid is beautiful and we can't wait to show you around the city when you come to visit. You are saving up right?
