Madrid

I slept for twelve hours last night. And I was only awake for a bit in the middle of the night. That should help with the jet lag!

It was about 11am when we finally went out to breakfast. We went to a great place we’ve been before, La Austriaca, I’ve told myself I will take fewer food pictures this trip but we shall see. It hard when there is so much that is so good. This morning we had more of the great food that makes me think of Spain.

Then we went to the museum of Romanticism.

After a coffee break we walked around a bit enjoying the beautiful streets. We both remarked on how clean the buildings are. Then we saw a sign about the exhibits and viewing platform in the Madrid city hall. The Palácio de Cibeles is emblematic of Madrid.

Inside the ere were several art exhibits and we really enjoyed the view from the observation platform at the top.

For dinner we went out for Tapas. Every time we are in Madrid we go to Cervecería Alemana. It was recommended to us by a good friend who was here around 1970. The bar is about 120 years old. It’s always good too.
