Hi everyone, checking my email from Calle de Alcala!
Well Antonio, you are treated like royalty! Seriously, it seems like the Reina Sofia is currently closed on Tuesdays. Antonio, I am going to call Hostal Chelo as I am considering transfering from Villanueva de la Torre to Madrid. That cercanias train is great but the commute eats up half my day!
Yesterday I had a bocata de calamares before visiting the museum. How can such a simple sandwich be so delicious? Definitely stick to your ribs. BTW, Madridman, I´ve never been to one of your reunions, so we have never met in person, although I hope to have the pleasure someday.)
Booklady, it is pretty hot, but since I come from humid and sweltering Miami Beach, it aint that bad. Dry heat is so much better ... you don´t feel like a wet rag by the end of the day. And besides, there are all those great places to hide in during prime heat hours, eating a big meal and drinking tinto de verano. (Today was Cafe de Gijon en Recoletos.)
Madrid is wonderful! It´s a bit lonely traveling by myself, but heck, how dare I complain?
Abrazos
Churrito
