……a nightmare actually and you were all in it as well as the guy in the photo and the three and a half million people in Madrid!    I dreamt we were running around in circles, and into people, and it was one of those dreams that makes absolutely no sense but is quite bothersome at the time you are into it, the dream I mean.    In the morning when I tried to explain to Jim and Marilyn how I had tossed and turned and was tired from my dream they just looked at me and said you’re not making any sense, and of course I knew I wasn’t, so that didn’t help!   After a little quiet time, and a couple of cups of that great Spanish coffee(without the alcohol) I realized I was anxious about driving, or rather Jim driving, into Madrid.  So what a great surprise it was when our Saint GPS brought us off the motorway and within ten easy minutes we were in front of our air bnb apartment and, voila, underground parking.     We are off to a great start in Madrid  and our apartment is a two minute walk from Parque del Retiro which is massive, and beautiful,  and already I have forgotten how many hectares.  From here it is a 15-20 minute walk into Old Madrid and we are headed there in the morning so I will fill you in later on that excursion.   Hope you sleep well tonight……me too!
