So THIS is Madrid....

It may seem strange to the uninitiated that Torontonians would fly to Spain on Lufthansa and via Frankfurt, but with code-shares, closed-sky policies, and an apparent lack of demand for direct flights from Canada to Spain, that's exactly what we did. We left Toronto Friday evening at 6:30 from YYZ's Terminal 1. The Lufthansa counter experience was somewhat less than impressive -- (1) $60 extra fee to pay for the heavy "Shuttle" server we're taking with us..., (2) "you can't take 2 carry-ons!"...

Training Day

When the movie Training Day came out in October 2001, the tag line was "The only thing more dangerous than the line being crossed, is the cop who will cross it." Well, there's nothing that dangerous going on here, but you never know who's going to cross the line. Not sure what line - we'll figure it out when we get to it, and cross it. Oh, have no doubt, we'll cross a line somewhere... As long as it's not the highway. Training Day 1 saw a total of 15 - no, 14, no, 16, no, 17... no, back to 14...

Remiss...

Suspend your disbelief, if you will, and pretend, for the next few minutes, that I really did write this on April 8. You'll then understand why I titled this entry "Remiss..." because, of course, it isn't April 8 at all as I write this, but a few weeks later, which means I have to skip a few details, and wrap up our Madrid trip with this entry. A bit of a tall order, frankly, considering there's a whole week to cover... Since my brain works chronologically, that's how I'll relate the week: 1)...

... 8230; but after the 2nd one I was enjoying it. Yes it was cruel to the bull that eventually dies but hey &#8211; all in the name of a cultural sport right!?!<br><br>So it started out with the matadors tormenting the bull&#8230; flashing their pink capes to get the bull to chase them, then they quickly duck in behind these little wooden man sized pocket holes in the arena&#8230; this winding the bull up and getting him running round chasing whoever he can ...

Ah the spanish, and the lack thereof!

... traffic, all the French were coming to Spain for holidays so traffic jams ahoy. We got off before the servo and all lined up for the toilet and waited for the bus to finally make it to the servo. Then we headed off again. <br> Apparently we were terribly behind as Calvin's good humour was there but you could tell he wasn't impressed with out schedule (no fault of ours!) so we got to Burgos at 12.40 or so, and immediately after getting off the bus, a massive wind brought in storm ...

Leaving England for Madrid - Part 1 of the trip

... The weather here is lovely, blue skies all day, but a bit of a chill in the air. I only wish I had time to take some last photos because the Christmas lights look wonderful where we live. I sure am going to miss this city, I hadn't realised how much I had come to love it. If you ever get a chance to come - DO! More cleaning and packing to do - had forgotten quite how small a rucksak is, I am never going to fit everything in - AAAAAHHHHHH

My Time In Madrid

It has been a while since I got on here. My first train ride from Paris to Madrid was quite nice. I ended up in a room with a retired professor from Jerez, Spain and he used to teach French and Spanish. Anyhow, I slept quite comfortably on the bunk bed and he had to sleep with a machine plugged in to help him breath so I kept worrying that he was going to die on me. In the morning, he got up first and headed to breakfast--I joined him shortly ...

Madrid Day 2

... shopping because I am going to better shopping cities in the upcoming weeks, and I didn't want to go to any of the other museums or monuments because I have already seen them all. So, we ended up just sitting in a little restaurant, relaxing and reading the newspaper! Eventually, it was time to take the metro back to our hostel so we could get ready for our next big night. We went to dinner "really early" at 7 pm at a restaurant called "Nebraska Cafeteria." I thought it ...

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

... Madrid's hot spots, chelsea and i ravaged an entire basket of potato chips. I'm really looking forward to getting home to Pilar's warm meals. =) Because it was Blake's last night in Spain, we headed back out to Puerta Del Sol for the night. We returned to the Cuban place for a little while (The live music there was just awesome!) and then met up with almost our entire group at the Irish pub across the street in honor of St. Patrick's Day. Spencer entertained us with his ...

Nothing like waiting until the last minute

... not terrible. This is an impressive little city, despite the fact that most of it is newer than the USA. I've been reading up on the history of Madrid, and there's been a lot of strife here for the past few hundred years - so much so that the great majority of its buildings are less than 200 years old, which is "new" by European standards. In fact, Madrid has only been the capital of Spain for less than 200 years. They didn't even have ...
