Day 2 Halloween

We slept until 9:30 and my coffee barista was kind enough to deliver! We made our way to the city center on Bus #20, to Plaza de Callao. Our first stop was “Pan” for a cafe con leche and flaunts (jamon and diced tomatoes on baguette). After eating we turned right and hit the first souvenir shop and spent 45 minutes finding many goodies. We continued to walk up the street stopping in many shops. The Museo de Jamon was quite interesting, they sold bits of products in cone shaped cups. We continued to shop and Cari noticed many people were carrying Primark bags, so of course we had to find it. Holy Moly....what a huge department store. It was at least 5 stories high, circular and there was intermittent slide shows, scenes from Harry Potter, frozen, etc. Crazy busy. We had lunch on the gran via at Tapa Tapa - croquettes de jamon y quest, patatas aoli ,olivias, cheese cake with berries, sangria, We passed a line of people that were waiting for la lottery, Ivan (our guide) the lottery will be held close to Christmas. We made our way back to the bus stop and arrived back to the hotel around 6pm. The welcome drink and potato chips was at 7 pm and we had dinner at the hotel cafeteria. Halloween in Spain has recently become a more celebrated holiday for family parties. There is no candy trick or treat. We sat across from our future selves in 20 years :)! While we were eating my not so good hamburger and Caris roasted vegetables (purée) salad, and 4 sprigs of micro greens a family came in that were dressed up, Cruella Deville, Little Red Riding Hood, Big Bad Wolf, Chain saw guy, Frieda from Coco , Hunchback of Notredam, the wicked witch from Snow White. Back to the room. I found CBD Mints and was very happy!!! I slept well, Cari was up most of the night :(. Buenas Noches Madrid....hasta mananaRead more
