Back

 Well that’s us back from two nights in Madrid. A wee trip abroad was suggested by middle daughter and l jumped at it. It was my first visit to Spain and the furthest south I have been. I had a fascinating and enjoyable time and will definitely go back.

Really enjoyed looking at the terrain from the plane.

Street maps on pillars were so helpful to get a sense of where we were.

First evening . I loved the dry warmth and sun staying up later. Looking across at the Ministry of Agriculture building.

Beautiful trees in a park near the area in the previous photo.

Could not resist taking a picture of the hand wash. Ha ha ha😀

View from my seventh floor bedroom. Hotel was fine, not too central and I would try to stay more centrally another time.

I was fascinated by these wooden booths all dedicated to selling books, often with large tables of books beside them. The joys of a dry climate. I also noted  that the trees retain many of their leaves and seeds dried rather than shedding them.

Much to take in and think about re Spain and interests to pursue. More photos and thoughts anon.
