I wish Kels and Marisa the best in Madrid. I know they will have a good time once they get settled and spend some time immersing themselves in the culture meeting new people and putting themselves out there with the Spanish language. I know you both will have no problem doing this. Madrid was a wonderful city, but very tiring. There was people on every corner at every hour of the day and night, very crowded, and lots of walking. If you go out you don't come back until 6 or 8 sometimes even 10 o'clock in the morning. This made siesta completely necessary.
Kelly and I found this market that everyone would have loved. It was called Mercato de San Miguel. This was amazing because it had all sorts of different shops including a wine bar, cafeteria, oyster bar, flower shop, pastries, olives, nuts, appetizers, and an open area to sit and eat and drink for lunch or dinner or whenever. It was a very nice place to go always busy and always delicious. I ate oysters almost everyday after we found this place. On my last day in Madrid, Kelly and Marisa met up with me at the Mercato and we got a bunch of snacks and lunch items and went to El Retiro park for a picnic. It was so nice it made leaving really harder. I didn't want to leave and wish I was still there. Madrid was a beautiful city and I'm sure Kelly will have a wonderful time there. I can't wait till I go back in October to visit once more. I miss Kelly a lot already but am so excited for her that she is on this trip doing something so new and exciting.
This video upload has taken hours. Sorry, I tried. I will put it on youtube soon.
Love you Kelly!!
