The elevator at
Hostal Adriano works great, and I am at this moment, comfortably ensconced in my room there after nearly freezing to death on the terraza at La Trucha (restaurant). My friend Don who has accompanied me on this trip said, "Hey, it is really cold out here, but the good thing is that we have to pay more".
Couldn't get any special glasses (they were all sold out), but we were able to watch a lot of people in Madrid watching the eclipse.
I have taken pictures of the new elevator, but have no idea how to post them to this site.
Madrid, as usual is a special place. As they say, "Desde Madrid al cielo".
