Madrid pics

Just seeing how to fix the errors I made earlier, more to come.
We flew back into Madrid Tuesday and we met up with Encar on her lunch break (around 2 pm - crazy spanish schedule) who showed us our new digs.

Arturo's brother Enrique was very generous and gave us his bedroom, opting to sleep in the living room. Which is crazy considering we were there for 6 nights. Wicked generous. It was a great location and the apartment was composed of four 20 somethinger bachelors. Check out the animal print, guitar and bike wheels. The view out the room into the back was really neat - seeing all the life that is hidden away in the city blocks. We were only the third floor, but I think that's really the fourth floor and the floors are really tall, so we had some nice views. That afternoon we wandered around some, and made our way to some modern sculpture tucked away under a highway over pass. On our way there, I snagged this sweet picture.

This isn't my favorite sculpture from the park but it's my favorite picture. I was taking some pictures of myself and this guy (you know with the outstreched arm) and one fellow who was hurrying pass on his way home asked if I wanted a photo. I was a little embarrased and said no, no worries, but he insisted, so here's me and my new buddy.While I'm thinking of it, the weather was absolutely amazing the entire time - no rain or overcast days at all, which I was worried about. I'm glad I pulled my rain jacket and umbrella out at the end. You couldn't ask for nicer weather - not too hot and it cooled down nicely in the evening.
