A Big Flea Market But No Fleas

---

It was a beautiful cool day here in Madrid. We started the morning bright and early for breakfast, although Faye and Bill both had trouble sleeping last night. Probably was the time change (or the giant cup of super coffee ice cream Bill had just before bed). The dogs in the picture looked like Faye and Bill early this morning!

We spent the entire morning at the famous Sunday Morning Flea Market. They had everything from schlock to really nice hand made sweaters. Also some nice jewelry - that’s what Renee and Faye are shopping for (hope you like it Lindsey!).

We then had a great lunch at a sidewalk café and then toured all around Madrid on an open bus tour. It was pretty brisk near sunset! For dinner we tried the Spanish Restaurant we were shut out of last night. It was mediocre at best - stick with Italian for Dinner in Madrid if our experience is typical. Probably Not.

After the obligatory ice cream (this time from another famous Spanish location (Hagen Daz) it’s early to bed so we can get up at 6:15 to be ready for our transport to the airport to board the cruise ship. We sail tomorrow night at 6.

We liked Madrid a lot and would come back here some day. It’s a beautiful city!

Dramamine for lunch tomorrow! Till then … we miss you all!

Larry and Renee
