Some of the interior at the Santo Mauro, where we stayed for the first week in Madrid. I absolutely LOVED the decor, so many fun patterns and colors!!
Restaurante Botin – opened in 1725 and the world’s oldest restaurant.
Royal Palace of Madrid
An Egyptian Temple donated to Spain from Egypt when the building of a new dam necessitated the need for it’s relocation.
I got lost one day looking for the Hopper exhibit (it ended up being across the street from our hotel…sigh…) and even though I found myself in a sketchy neighborhood, I thought this huge painted wall was a pretty cool find. 😉
Fruits, veggies, nuts, fish, meat, breads, ice cream, whatever you could imagine were all found at Mercado de San Miguel. AMAZING!
I am obsessed with these adorable little cars!! ^^^
Not too bad for a photo snapped out the window of a moving taxi. 😉
Above: The Westin Palace – the hotel we stayed at for our second week in Madrid. Celebrity spottings of the owner of Chevrolet and Sharon Stone. So they say….
Dinner at Plaza Mayor.
A cool train station in Madrid on our way to Tolédo. It was like walking into a jungle in a train station – a little crazy.

Pretty cool. One question, where are the pictures of all the bafoonery that went on that week?

I didn’t carry my nice camera most of the time and generally I don’t showcase “bafoonery” on my business blog. 😉
