Day 1 and 2 of Madrid

Just getting ready to go eat dinner, man they eat late around here, and thought I would post some photos for your enjoyment. Yesterday was a long one. We got to the hotel and took just a short nap. Then went on a tour with the Free Tour people (like I did last year in Berlin). Then did a little shopping and some more rest. Then off to dinner about 10pm. A short walk back to hotel and a great nights rest. We got up this morning and were off the the Prado for a bit of art. It was wonderful and they had a Caravaggio and plenty of El Greco and Goya (not the black bean guy). After all the art we went to a Charlie Chaplin, which was quite nice and funny. All the art had worn me out and the Chaplin stuff was just the ticket. After that it was time for some lunch (at the Museum of Ham, they are crazy about ham here) and then a siesta. After siesta then a stroll to the Plaza de Espana and the Templo de Debod. When we were leaving the park around the Templo a fly landed on me and stayed with me all the way home, check out the photos below. Ok I need to get ready for dinner. Have a great day! Peace

I think the fly wanted to make sure he was with you when you turned -- let's see how old will that be --. A little music please "Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Victor happy birthday to you!!!" Hope you have a great day, and an even better day when you are able to celebrate at Oktoberfest. Love, AFGG

Happy Birthday!!
Nancy had 4 hours of surgery yesterday and the doctor was pleased with the way it went. She will be in hospital for 7 days with a lot of pain (but good drugs).
God Bless Tom and Nancy
