Hola! We are now in Madrid, capital city of Spain. Not as picturesque as Barcelona, but there are still plnenty of trees. To tell the truth, we haven't wandered very far yet as our apartment has all the creature comforts - including a computer with ADSL. So we've been taking it easy since we arrived, concentrating on living like the locals - buying yummy food and beer at the supermarket, eating tapas from the local restaurant and generally having a siesta. Which is not to say we haven't done anything - this morning we went to the famous Madrid markets. This has been taking place on Sundays since medieval times, and sells everything: produce, furniture, old junk (yay!), old books (yay!), tools, computer peripherals and clothing. And guess what? Our street is the marketplace! It's quite fun watching the crowds from the window of our place. We even waved to a throng of enthusiastic Hari Krishnas.
