My feetos hurto

From Spain 2010

Lots of walking. That's what we did today. We trekked around a good portion of the Centro neighborhood, seeing many of the major points of interest: the Opera house, Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol and a bunch of other stuff between our apartment and the Palacio Real.

We were going to go in the palacio but the line was huge, so we went in the cathedral of Nuestra Senora de la Almudena museum and dome instead. I technically went outside around the dome, just disregard the fact that I was pressed up against the wall with the world tilting swiftly under my feet. There was a big thick glass partition but phobias are by nature illogical.

We got a little something to eat... I had anchovies on toast with mooshed tomato - it was very good. Jose had a potato/egg pancake thingy that is common around these parts.

I was pooped and dehydrated so we came back and I took a nap and Jose went off to the opera. I went to the botanical gardens and was going to look into train tickets but I realized I forgot my Eurail pass at the apartment. I'll just have to go tomorrow morning early.

I picked up some grub from a cute little vegetarian buffet place and had some other odds and ends like these potato chips that are so good - thick and crunchy and greasy.
