Madrid (Spain)

After France and England - Next Stop... my home, Spain.  Our first stop was Madrid - unfortunately, we didn't get the greatest weather there, lots of rain and cold.

This round in Madrid was actually my 3rd time there, so I was starting the know the sites pretty well.  Its a really easy place to visit... a lot of walking, but not a lot of distance.  Not a whole lot to actually visit either - just things to see and walk by.  There are a million monuments, plazas, and gardens to visit.  Madrid has this huge garden called Retiro Park - it could take you the whole day to visit it.  There are many little hidden buildings in the park that are pretty cool to see.  We also did a cable car ride over the city and into the mountains not too far.  Madrid, like every other places, involved many terraces for drinks and afternoon breaks!

Unfortunate that we didn't get better weather, but the city is still a nice place to visit and many things to see.
