A day in Madrid was the perfect start to our journey. The city holds lots of memories for me. In the early 1990's during my SAIC days we did a joint venture with the largest Spanish utility - Iberdrola. I was a frequent visitor for the following year and Madrid was the first major international city that I got to know. Dandy and I have fond memories of seeing Bruce Springsteen here in Madrid during his "Born in the USA" tour. We were back with Taylor during his time studying at the University of Salamanca - but today was the first time visiting with Julia. Our jet lag did not allow for an extended tour - we would have loved to have done the open bus ride around the city - but it was a taste of the magic that Madrid offers. Always buzzing - the beauty of it's palaza's - the international feel of the inhabitant's - spectacular cathedrals - and yes great sangria and tapas. The visit was too short but served as a jolt of energy as we head off to Leon and the start of our walk early Monday morning.
Have a blessed Sunday my friends
Bob
