Greetings from Spain

After a cab ride at 6am Monday, a Bart trip under the tube, an Air tram, 1 continental and 1 cross Atlantic flight, a people mover conveyor, 3 subway rides on the Madrid Metro, we have Finally arrived 11am Tuesday! Youd think that after 22 some hours just getting here we´d be inoculated from feeling anything other than exhaustion but let me tell you, emerging from the subway and into Gran Via in the heart of Historic Madrid simply blew us away.

At every turn, around every corner, along every road and path seems another uber quaint or gorgeous vista. It simply never ends. For example, I´m writing to you from the tourista depot in the Plaza Mayor...just another plaza in Madrid.


Well, its 500 years old, had bull fights for some 250 years, can hold some 50,000 spectators, and some 250 years ago, became a center for ritualistic punishment administered by the Spanish inquisition.

Anywayz, i gotta run. Will blog again in a couple of days

Sounds great P. Sounds like you are enjoying it already. Remember what they say "No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!"
