Chuck and I spent today on our own made up walking tour of Madrid.
We started our tour at Plaza Puerta del Sol. Clarke and Brenda took us there last night. What a lively place.
This is the fountain in the middle of the huge plaza.
This lady is grinding an organ without a little monkey.
This guy is hurriedly putting out his illegal "knock-off " Prada purses. He wasn't in business very long before the police ran him off.
We then walked to the area near the train station.
One of the things I love about this city is the hundreds of out door sitting areas. They are everywhere!
Another thing I love about Madrid is the beautiful architecture and the wonderful narrow streets.
It reminds me a lot of Paris.
A beautiful park.
And lots of tourist junk treasures.
Chuck was colorful enough to sell in his Panama hat and Spain Football shirt.
A cool life-size display outside a tourist shop.
One of Madrid's double decked tour buses.
We LOVE this city!!
Now I have to go soak my puppies!
Love,
Nancy
So happy you arrived safe and sound. Looking forward to follow-up photos!
