Another country, another new language, another experience!



Alcobendas, Madrid

Mario’s work with bonsai is what has brought us to Spain. We are currently living in a suburb (rather a small city) half an hour out of Madrid called Alcobendas. It is a really beautiful place and much more modern than I had expected. We have a very nice second floor apartment for the month. Exactly across the road is a big shopping centre! From our windows we can people watch for hours! We don’t have internet but there is a centre down the road where we can use it for free.

People here are real night owls and eat dinner after 9pm, must have something to do with it not getting dark till 10pm! Can’t seem to adapt yet!

Check out our first few photos from Alcobendas!
