Spring Break-Madrid, Espana!

Hola!

Iza's first (international!) flight... Warsaw to Amsterdam, Amsterdam to Madrid, then reverse! She only cried on the first landing then rode the others smoothly except for a small tummy ached on the last flight. She's a natural traveler!


We got to visit with Karen, Jill's former principal, now working in Madrid. She said so many times, "She's such a good baby!"
We know
:)


Basillica de Alumeda 18 and 19C


Dark interior of the lower level... we went in the wrong entrance and I wondered why there were so many pillars with such a low ceiling... we found the main entrance another day.. pics to come


'Wrong entrance' door knocker
I love the metal weave


The skinniest, fittest and fiercest bulldog I've ever seen


old, crooked doorway


Plaza Major's main frescoed allegorical facade


detail


me 'n the babe bjornin' it


we found a great, cheaper shopping district (mostly to wholesalers) south of Plaza Major... and some wonderful mannequins!


this is not a mannequin, but still wonderful!


Finally keeping her eyes open while in the baby bjorn... so she got to see some of Madrid, too.


Caffe Spanish style



One of the umpteen impressive cathedral ceilings we saw


more to come later...

Adios!
