¡En Madrid!

Hola. This is our second day in Madrid, and it is quite wonderful.  We are leaving in about 8 minutes to go to El Museo del Prado y El Palacio Real (The Royal Palace) so this will be quick.

When I got to the Madrid airport yesterday I found several ISA people and together we made it from Sala 4 to Sala 1 on a shuttle, and there we found tons more ISA people.  Our site directors picked us all up from the airport and we took a bus to out hotel.  The hotel is right in the middle of the city and you can walk or take the Metro just about anywhere from here.  Behind the hotel is a whole maze of little narrow streets where we got cafĂ© yesterday and then tapas and wine last night.  My roommate and I took a walk to the park yesterday where we saw lots of Spanish lovers lounging in the sunny grass.

Well we're just about to leave for the museum, so I'd better go put away my laptop.  ¡Adios!
