First Day in Madrid

Time to go to bed. We've been up way too long, but we arrived safely in Madrid this morning and found our way downtown. We located our apartment, got our keys, and then Rachel met us for lunch and a walk around this part of Madrid.

Rachel is a wonderful and knowledgeable hostess and tour guide. Her sociology classes and her own curiosity have served her well and she can tell us much about Madrid, Spain, and the Spanish people. After lunch and a walk around the area, we shared chocolate and churros. 

That's all for now. Happy to be here. And good night, Mom. It's time to sleep so we can get up and go to the Prado tomorrow morning. The rain held off until now, so I get to go to sleep with the pleasant sound of rain falling on our balcony that overlooks the narrow little street outside our apartment. And even if it's raining in the morning, we'll be in the Prado which Doug declares to be the best art museum in Europe.
