After my first EU business trip ended (it started just 7
days after moving to Paris…), decided to have Pete and AJ join me in
Madrid. It seemed a cool chance to take
advantage of Pete not working, soften the blow of my rapid jump back into work,
and explore a city that I lived in 12 years ago! We mostly enjoyed ourselves, and just
explored the city. Did some of AJs
favorite activities, which was enjoying and paying street performers and balloon artists.
We also enjoyed a bit of Spanish Omelette and Ham in a number of small bars
One of the highlights was a trip to the Palacio Real, where
it was a working palace hundreds of years ago! The other one was definitely the boats in Parque Retiro - something that brought back memories of things I used to do back in 2004 when my visitors came (Jenni, Gina, Caitlin, Michael)
Pete and I really liked the Flamenco show - AJ was excited to go, but was less than impressed in the end. Oh well, hard to please a 6 yo.
All in all, a nice 72 hours in Madrid!
Theses were two random pictures. On the left, Pete suggested re-enacting our proposal. On the right, AJ stood near "Madrid's Arc de Triomphe"
And no trip is complete without a chocolate croissant!
