I toured the city of Madrid today! We got on the bus and drove around the city. We stopped at the train station, Plaza Mayor, and the Royal Palace for pictures. On our bus tour, I saw the Neptune and Celebes fountains, the post office, downtown Madrid, and the monument to Don Quixote and Sancho.
Madrid, Spain travelprincess1...We first went for a walk in Retiro Park and then went to the Prado (Art) Museum. I really enjoyed it, however I was feeling pretty ill and there wasn't any chairs. We came back to the hotel shortly after for a siesta. After "siesta-time", we ventured out to find tourist shopping spots. After walking around for 1 ½ hours and not finding anything but a Starbucks, we came back to the hotel and repacked our suitcases for the final time... *Tauck travelers: There was a WONDERFUL farewell dinner...

Madrid, Madrid, Spain and Canary Islands jdcabanel... I chose to smile,
not at the sad reality of his fate but at the truth that I am a
survivor and a strong confident woman who wont ever let a man destroy
who I am. I am an intellegent woman who holds a masters degree when my
exhusband told em to drop out of college because it was too expensive
and I needed to take care of him. Good thing I followed my heart on
that one! I have traveled the world and bring more reali life
experiance with that than all of my years of ...
... our favorites being the bacalao carpaccio at Taberna Dolores, the nouveau style food at the excellent Bar called Tempranillo (with over 100 wines to choose from), and the amazing deal of six tapas and two glasses of wine at a place that was a good deal but not all that much to write home about. Tapas are typically a standup affair (usually at a bar) where one chooses or even just plucks from a platter their selection from an assortment of pre-made goodies. Most of these ...
Madrid, Spain jenandjeffmilum... lures the bull in for one last charge... right into the tip of his sword. The sword is jabbed right through the bulls brain adn the bull drops instantly to his death.. sequin man wins. The crowd ROARS and a lasso is tied around the mangled neck of the bull in order for him to be dragged out of the pit by three horses. The pit is cleaned up.. the dirt is raked to conceal the blood and to prepare for the entrance of the next bull. SO this is how ...
Madrid, Spain krystiemclellan... to their feet and cheers on the matador, who takes a bow and turns his back to the bull, as if to show that the animal is completely under his control. Then after planting about 6 of these knifes in the bull, the matador goes to the side of the ring to get his sword. He then teases the crowd a bit, waiving the sword around in front of the bull, taking aim at the bull, but then backing off and just having the bull run through the cape again and again and again until the bull ...
Madrid, Spain trg7... of touring Europe in both the winter and summer and both seasons have had their negatives and positives. I look forward to coming to Europe on either side of Summer. I´m glad I returned to travelling for I´ve seen some phenomenal sights including The Louvre, Notre Dame, Vatican City, many fine churches and cathedrals, sensational scenery etc. etc. I think I´ve had a balanced experience, including lying on the beach, immersing myself in the culture ...
Madrid, Spain shanewilsonCoño! Hijo De Puta! Joder! Mierda! I woke up at eight this morning, and immediately threw my new Spanish alarm clock out the window and straight into the swimming pool (cool, we have a swimming pool). I had forgot how annoying that sound could be. No wonder my sleepy head opted to drown it in the piscina two floors down, instead of experimenting with the snooze button. If you haven't already heard, I am starting a new "suitcase-life" (for now at least) in ...
Madrid, Spain stevefn... how to balance a tray while crawling on the floor. Finally there is a mock wedding of two members of our group in Moroccan costume. Accompanying all of it is a musical group with a singer and three players performing Moroccan music on a violin, guitar, and a hand drum. Our next stop is Marrakech where we see a beautiful light show in a park that symbolically depicts the history of the city, which has been conquered in its history by Spain and France. But it is not a political ...
