Arrived in Madrid- Las Meninas, here I come

---

Arrived in Madrid yesterday afternoon, flew in from Rome, stopped at Barcelona for a switch of flight. I was really impressed by the Metro system (subway) in Madrid. It is a web of well designed subway lines that make commuting very comfortable, fast, and noise-free (In Toronto, the subway carts now make unbearable squeaking noises when they stop).

I met up with Fernando and his friends, who I had the fortune to come to know when he was on exchange to the Toronto office 2 years ago. Had a really good time having a couple beers with him and the gang. The Spanish people are quite easy-going and warm upon first impression (simpatico, en español). I think I will enjoy this place!

Sorry I have not been able to provide lots of updates on my stay in Italy...when I have time, I will fill in the gaps. Too many things to do and too many things to see. However, now, I need to go explore España.

Until next time.

Cheers.
