Just a Day . . .


We had visitor from the US last week . . .

So we took him down to the Plaza Mayor where you can get a great roasted half chicken and patatas fritas for only 6 euros. All while enjoying the atmosphere. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you'll also get a flamenco dancer and Spanish guitars.



At the palace . . . we noticed a lot of important looking people from other countries exiting the building. Renae gave us a play by play of who was wearing what.



Then . . . she decided it was time to push her stroller in preparation for pushing her "budder."


Then on another day last week . . .

My friend Aicha invited me over for a REAL Moroccan fiest. She made lamb tagine, and a bunch of other delicious Moroccan dishes. Needless to say . . . I returned home much fatter. Good thing I'm pregnant . . .


And yesterday . . .

We made our first trip to the pool!

I was able to find a site that listed open air pools in Madrid and we found one just 6 metro stops from our neighborhood. Renae is offically a fish who did not want to leave. I only got this one picture in before I was told by the lifeguard that pictures aren't aloud. I'm thinking it has something to do with the fact that there are topless women all over the place at these very public pools. Eww.

I don't think there are many outdoor pools here. It is back in the 50's...and it's almost the middle of June!
I'm sure Renee loved the pool, and it is nice to see that Jesse didn't have to wear a Speedo!
