Just a brief note to let everyone know that there's been no earthquake, hurricane, or whatnot here in Spain -- just sun, sun, sun. Even better, family attitudes have improved quite a bit, probably a result of setting appropriate incentives for sightseeing, including meals out, views of downloaded PBS shows, and Spanish Rioja (an incentive for the parents). So we've been out and about a) taking a bus tour of Madrid -- perfect for those little feet that don't want to walk; b) wandering around the neighborhoods adjacent to our house; and c) visiting the Reina Sofia museum to see Picasso and Dali, then walking in the big Madrid park. We've also tried out a variety of interesting Spanish foods, including my favorite, cream of melon with ham. Planning more tomorrow before Jon's trip to the UK and the start of school registration/shopping madness Thursday-Friday.
HI FROM BEBE,
ReplyDeleteIt was a treat to see you on Skype today. Hopefully we can talk to you on Sunday, Seth's birthday. I forgot to ask you if you have been receiving my blogs. It's a fun way for me to contact you. How long a ride is it from your apt. into the city? Sounds like you have started to explore. Nora and Nathan, what are your favorite places so far? LOVE, BEBE
