Spain with Ricardo and LeeAnn! Day 1

Our friends, Lee Ann and Ricardo de Abiega live in Madrid, Spain. We made a long overdue trip to see them in December 2011. How interesting to see a country from the eyes of a local!

The first stop we made in Madrid was Mercado de San Anton. This was a multi-level market/eating establishment where you go to have tapas.

We walked to the center of Madrid, the Puerta del Sol, to find that it seemed every other person in Madrid had the same idea. Lee Ann said she had never seen that many people there.

From Puerto del Sol we walked toward the Plaza Mayor. It felt like Times Square on New Years Eve. Shoulder to shoulder people shuffling along the way!



From there we walked past the Almudena Cathedral
