And Now My Feet Hurt

You may notice a lack of pictures for a while.  I am posting them over on Facebook.  Feel free to friend me to see them.

It turns out that posting from my phone is much more difficult than I had anticipated; so my blog may suffer some infrequent posting until I return.  But let me say a bit about Madrid before I go.

First, you will probably be walking everywhere; get used to it ahead of time, and buy a good pair of walking shoes.  Second, if you are overweight, be prepared to have people remark on it if you're a girl.  I heard someone referring to me as "gordita" this evening, but I am; so no sense in being upset about it.  Just something to keep in mind.  Last but not least, it's good to know a little Spanish when you're here; it helps tremendously.

So, my feet hurt.  I got a bit of sun (mind, that isn't a good thing,) and while the flamenco place we wanted to go to was closed, today was still a pretty good day.  I saw a lot of amazing things, ate a lot of food I normally wouldn't, and will  be up again tomorrow doing it all again.

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!  This is me from Madrid saying good night!
