I know, I know, it's been almost two months since the last update. Motivation is a bit low on the blogging front these days. There's been no fancy trips or excursions the last couple of months, but at least I finally managed to visit the somewhat famous El Rastro Sunday morning flea market..., and the Zoo in the huge Casa de Campo park, close to where I used to live before I moved into the city. I hope you enjoy the photos until I get back the writing bug.
