I am ALIVE AGAIN

Anyone that knows me well, (or not) knows that I am with the socialist party in the United States and Spain. This was taken in Madrid Spain at Puerta del Sol. Sadly I had to leave Madrid to travel north to Asturias, but I plan on spending time with the protesters at the end of June.

Cerveza Fria

I love Spanish cerveza! My favorite is Mahou made in Madrid. I also like the fact that a person can walk around on public streets drinking her beer....

Next stop was a tiny bar specializing in one item, mussels or mejillones. (no idea on the spelling but I am sure Mig will spot any errors and fix them :)

Our first stop on our tapa and vino tour included fresh tuna empanada and Rioja wine

After a hot shower and clean clothes we did not waste any time making up for lost time! Vino tinto here we come!

This is the best located hotel in Madrid. It is smack dab in the heart of Puerta del Sol. I love it I love it I love it!

Puerta del Sol

¡Buenas tardes! ¡¡¡En tres dias se acabó el trabajo!!!!

I love Madrid. I have no desire to live there as my heart is in Asturias always and forever, BUT as this year will be my sixth time visiting this city I feel right at home amongst the "madrileños". Miguel and I decided to stay in Madrid at least one night this year and chose a hotel that we have never stayed in before. Puerta del Sol is Kilometer 0. All roads in Spain start here. Madrid never sleeps and especially here there is always action. http://www.hoteleuropa.net/ I have looked at a lot of guest reviews and the only complaint is the crowd noise from the streets. I can have peace and quiet when I am dead!
