We are in Madrid! It's the last stop of our whirlwind tour of Spain. Tonight we hit the Prado for 2hours, because it's free most nights from 6 to 8. And we accidentally had lunch at a world famous jazz club.
It would be great, except it's freezing and rainy and I'm whining a lot.
Tomorrow, churros and chocolate for breakfast and then the Royal Palace.
I have ticketsssssssssss.
Goddamn, that process was onerous. And the expense reporting will be worse, no doubt. But I'm going to Spain for real now!
eta:ahahah! And Consuela is where I'll be!
msbelle, it's not Fight Club. Because the first rule is not to talk about it, right? ::looks shifty::
This: [link] made me cry. This is why I should be working from home, dammit. The internet feels.
Yay sarameg!! I can make more recommendations after Saturday, when i get home.
But it's awesome.
That made me cry too, ita. Thanks!
Oh, geez, ita. Yeah crying. (relatedly, this week is the 2 yr anniversary of Bob getting his tumor removed and this morning he got another all clear report from his oncologist and he doesn't need to go back for 6 whole months!!)
Will have to check that site later, I have students waiting outside. oy!
Why is my head full of cotton wool?
Consuela, if you have a chance, the Thyssen-Bornemizsa (sp?) is only a couple blocks IIRC from the Prado--and is pretty awesome, if you're less into Madonna-and-Child and more into anything modernish (past 150 years?)
