Madrid Arrival

I arrived in Madrid in perfect weather.  After walking down an ENDLESS corridor from the jetway to immigration, I went through a pretty quick immigration/customs process and met Jose.

We took the metro to the apartment where I promptly took a nap, since I had only gotten about 2 hours of sleep since I left home Saturday morning and we were meeting friends at a park for a picnic for lunch.

From Spain 2010
Jose got some food while I slept and we met Anna and Frank at Retiro Park for our picnic.  We had all kinds of delicious stuff (WAY too much for four people), including La Duree macarons!!  Anna is a great cook - she made delicious Italian sandwiches (mozz, tomato, lettuce, a little bit of pesto) and I think the other had mortadella.

We hung out there for about 5 hours I think!  It was a very nice, relaxing time.

Jose's off to a coaching and I'm chilling at the apartment because I'm fading fast but trying to stay up longer so I don't wake up at 2 am.
