The Adventure Begins.....

May 12th/13th, 2016

Early in the morning on May 12th, Becky and I boarded our American Airlines flight bound for Chicago where we then met up with Marianne for the continuation of our trip to Madrid. Our flight was uneventful and we arrived in Madrid a little after 7:00 in the morning. Between the three of us, we were operating on less than 6 hours sleep, but we did manage to get through customs, retrieve our luggage, and get ourselves to our hotel. We had grand plans of going out on the town, but decided we'd take a quick hour-long nap first. Three hours later, we finally drug ourselves out of bed and found a tapas restaurant nearby for lunch. First item on order was a round of sangria.

The remainder of the afternoon/evening was spent on a tour bus ride around the city and a light, early dinner consisting of a dessert crepe and coffee (decaf, of course). Yum! Early to bed for all of us. Tomorrow we're heading to the Royal Palace.
