Turtles begging for food and getting it.

Our usual-Doble Estrella or Águila for Pat, tinto de verano for me.

Bacalao tapas in Mercado de San Miguel. The bacalao al pil pil was really good.

Just a bit of their first song. It got much better after we had to turn the phones off.

Madrid Part 2

Walked 12 miles today.

Started the day with the buffet breakfast at our hotel. I tried the pan con tomate. It was tasty but it's really hard to beat the freshly baked croissant. We spent the rest of the morning waking it off in the Parque del Retiro.

We shopped and ate throughout the afternoon. I found several fabric stores but was only able to shop at two of them before they all closed for siesta. The Mercado de San Miguel was crowded and fun for tapas.

We capped the night with an intimate flamenco show. They only allowed us to record the opening song. I really enjoyed the show. The female dancer made beautiful shapes with her dress and body. The male dancer looked like Rick Springfield (enough said there).

Tomorrow we head for Pamplona.Read more
