Hey Madrid!!!! ¡Feliz Dia de la Comunidad!!

I was talking with my ladyfriend on the phone this morning, happened to mention today's date as May 2nd, and she herself didn't realize today is the HOLIDAY of the province of Madrid (not just the city, but the whole province). She realized had she been IN Madrid (yesterday was Labor Day and a holiday in Spain and much of Europe) today she'd have the day off. Unfortunately, I immediately depressed her.

Anyway, Happy Holiday to all en la Comunidad de Madrid!

Saludos, MadridMan

Thanks MM, that means a lot to us (adopted) Madrileños! Indeed May 2nd was the celebration of the ousting of the French from Spain and the famous uprising of the Villa of Madrid in the Puerta del Sol in 1808. At the risk of plugging my website, I have some great footage of the parade into the Plaza Mayor and the subsequent Zarzuela that takes place yearly on that fateful evening. Check it out if you want... jer. Great Dos de Mayo Stuff

It seems someone is testing me.... <tick.... tick.....tick....>
