So . . . Let's start out with the fact that I have been thrilled for weeks due to an expected visit from a certain someone. Mama, Mother, Little Asia, Sayud has come to town. Happily woke up early to meet her at the Barajas, Madrid airport. Below shows some documentation/proof/memorabilia of our three days in Madrid together.
 |
| In Madrid's most beautiful square: Plaza Mayor. |
 |
Enjoying Mercado de San Miguel yet again.
Mother got a kick out of the Jamon scene. As do most people.
And if you're wondering, yes- the meat is sliced from as-pictured-above,
placed on bread, and eaten as a sandwich. Tasty. Different. So Madrid. |
 |
Enjoying the gorgeous design found inside the Almudena Cathedral.
Beautiful stained glass and paintings. |
 |
| We loved the entrance doors. |
 |
Here's mama- showing off all of her secret pockets and gadgets.
Take that, pickpockets. |
 |
Touring the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
If you haven't heard, there's an event called the Fifa World Cup.
And Spain just happened to win this year. Woot woot. |
 |
GARGANTUAN. Seats 80,000 peeps.
Has seated up to 100,000. |
 |
| Enjoying the in-stadium museum and trophy rooms. |
 |
| The Press Room. Great photo opps. |
 |
And this is me, shooting for who knows what.
Reciting "fun facts" on the strength of a rope.
|
 |
Palacio Real (Royal Palace). Gorgeous gorgeous.
Probably one of the most ornate palaces I have ever seen. Loved this tour. |
 |
| Jet-lagged mama, busy street, one happy gringa. |
