Your In!
Hi Nicole, Madrid really needs a good brewery where they use at least some hops in their beers. Most of what we have been drinking is a light lager other than the German style beers at the micro. Not suprisingly there are at least three Irish pubs in Madrid that serve Guinness or Murphy's stout. I have been looking for an import beer store to buy a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale but so far no luck. A good hoppy ale is what I am homesick for. Cheers, Jim

Manager application
You know, you'll need someone to manage that brewery...consider this mine & Woody's formal application! :)

I Like the way you think
Mr. Sherman, your insight to my personal thoughts is uncanny. The problem is there is no way Lisa would be willing to move to Madrid and give up the sunny California lifestyle. I could however open up a micro or two here in Spain and travel once or twice a year to collect my gold doubloons from the profits. The best of both worlds, that is of course if I can get Lisa to manage my budget!

Doesn't Madrid need another MicroBrewery?
Jim can become the Micro Brewery Beer Mogul of Madrid??? Hell, we'll all come work for him! :D

Adjusting Nicely!
Pete, we are getting used to the food, drink, different time zone and culture. Ahhhh!!!

Food - oh boy!
Max, we hope you are feeling better. The food is unbelieveable. We have not had a full meal yet but lots of little dishes all day long. Luckily we are walking and walking and walking so I think we should be losing weight instead of gaining it - we'll see. We will have to post all our pictures on Smug Mug so you and John can see just how many pictures of food Jim has taken.

So far it's great!
Edward, it has been fantastic so far. Normally we stay in a different place every night but since I had to have all those clothes for the cruise, we needed a central point. We did get a rail pass though so we will see more of Spain.

Budget in Euros or Dollars
That was cruel Mike! For now, budget is not something we are not thinking about. We're used to trying to find money where it doesn't exist so the vacation will be fantastic!

Are you sure that John and Jim aren't twins separated at birth? John always takes picture of food, too. I thought it was just an idiosyncrisy, now I see that it is an art movement. The apartment looks fabulous. I have caught John's virulent cold, so keep the sunshine coming on the blogs-it may be the only fun I'll have this week-end.
