Let's take a train... or not.

From Spain 2010

Jose and I went to see if we could take a train to Toledo but they were on strike so most of the trains weren't running.  We were going to try to go to the monastery near Madrid but that needs a train, too, and one of the security guards said the train hadn't come in over an hour.  Jose couldn't risk not getting back in time for the opera tonight, so we did plan C.

We walked through Retiro park again and walked around the fancy shopping Salamanca neighborhood, looping back around to the park.  We got some delicious treats at the Moulin Chocolat just as it started raining.  We took the metro one stop and now we're back at the apartment.

I'm foreseeing eating out while Jose's at the opera but otherwise laying kind of low today.  Tomorrow afternoon we head to Paris!
