Dream to Travel from NCM

Took today easy—casually explored the neighborhood. I was very tired.

Checked into my hotel and continued to explore our sky-garden and neighborhood. Meeting Julian for dinner this evening.

Two beautiful views from the sky-garden.
I should have brought my bathing suit. It’s heated!
Walking around this afternoon and it wasn’t even rush hour.
Beautiful building on the corner of Calle Alcalá and Gran Vía, designed in 1905 by French architects, Jules and Raymond Février to house an insurance company, although the final work was carried out by Luis Esteve from Spain. The Metrópolis Building is one of the main icons of the Gran Via and this neighborhood.
Dinner with Julian. Tapas restaurant. Food delicious. Service impeccable.
So. Much. Fun. All grown up.
This was my first appetizer! Grilled avocado with tomato. Sorry, as usual for me, we ate the food before I remembered to take a picture—I’ve got to get better at that!

Good night. I’m going to bed. Tomorrow the palace, Plaza Mayor and at least one museum. I think it is supposed to rain tomorrow. : (

    • Hi Eileen. How are you? How was the birthday lunch? What am I missing? Julian is my oldest brother’s, oldest daughter’s, oldest son—my mom’s first great grandson. Having a great time. Loved Madrid. Just arrived Porto, Portugal. I flew from Madrid. It was easy. And it is an hour flight and we gain an hour, so, I landed the same time I left— geez, these time changes are killing me. ; )
      Talk soon, xoxo, —nancy
