Madrid, May 15 is a holiday

Since May 15 is a holiday here, San Isidro (Madrid's patron saint) Festival, everything was closed. So we just walked around and took pictures from the outside of everything.


Here's me, Jerry, outside of the Cathedral Almudena, it faces the Royal Palace.


Here is Peg in front of the Royal Palace. It is so huge and grand with great views. I can't beleive places like this were built for one person.


This is the Plaza Mayor it was a big enclosed plaza, very cool. Another Chino guy took the picture of us, his English sounded European though. "Say Queso!"


The plus side of being here on a festival day is that tons of locals were out celebrating and in costume. We saw so many kids dressed in these outfits. This is Peg's favorite picture we took in madrid.


We're in front of the Monument to Alfonso XII. Doesn't Peg look happy with her polo de mango y naranja! Yo estoy comiendo un helado de straticella.

Leave us comments when you get the chance so we can read them on the road. Thanks, Jerry.
